ISSUE-164: pre-determined versus determined
TLebo
pre-determined versus determined
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Accessing and Querying Provenance
- Raised by:
- Timothy Lebo
- Opened on:
- 2011-11-23
- Description:
- In http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/paq/provenance-access.html :
"Provenance assertions are about pre-determined activities involving entities; as such, they are not dynamic."
Is there something special about pre-determined that would be different from "determined"?
Could "pre-" be safely removed without losing meaning? It's not that we knew what was going to happen -- only that they already have happened, no?
Thanks,
Tim
