ISSUE-210: 7.1 PROV-DM Interpretation diagram and interpretation definitions disorderly

7.1 PROV-DM Interpretation diagram and interpretation definitions disorderly

State:
CLOSED
Product:
prov-dm
Raised by:
Timothy Lebo
Opened on:
2012-01-05
Description:
The diagram at [1] illustrates subfigures a-h

Below the figure, the definition of the illustrations are listed.

For example, subfigure a "start-precedes-end" is followed by definition of "starts-precedes-end"

Two readability (not content) issues:

ISSUE A:

Following the pattern above, I would expect the second definition after the diagram to be "generation-precedes-usage", but it is missing.


ISSUE B:

It is not clear, without in-depth reading, whether a definition is described in the narrative _above_ or _below_ the definition itself. This is compounded by ISSUE A above, where some definitions are missing. I suggest to begin the narrative describing the definition by referencing either the subfigure or the definition, e.g., "As in subfigure a, the following definition start-precedes-end ..."

Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,
Tim

Related notes:

the definitions were reordered alphabetically according to the figure. This is much easier to read. Thank you.
