ISSUE-368: No responsibility in derivation

No responsibility in derivation

State:

CLOSED

Raised by:

Description:

We are having ongoing discussion about responsibility in derivations (see ISSUE-357 and ISSUE-352).

In the spirit of simplification, I would like to suggest that agents should not be mentioned in derivation relations.

Instead of
wasRevisionOf(id,e2,e1,ag,attrs)
we should write
wasRevisionOf(id,e2,e1,attrs)
and wasAttributedTo(e2,ag)


Instead of
wasQuotedFrom(id,e2,e1,ag2,ag1,attrs)
we should write:
wasQuotedFrom(id,e2,e1,attrs)
and wasAttributedTo(e1,ag1)
and wasAttributedTo(e2,ag2)



We are not losing in expressivity, I believe, instead, we decouple components 2 and 3 in the data model.

Furthermore, if we allow optional arguments in derivations,
wasDerivedFrom(id, e2, e1, a, g2, u1, attrs)
they should also be allowed in quotation/original source/revision, to
make these proper subrelations.

Cheers,
Luc
