ISSUE-40: Roles should not be SHOULD and not MUST

recommended-roles

Roles should not be SHOULD and not MUST

State:

CLOSED

Product:

prov-dm

Raised by:

Paul Groth

Opened on:

2011-07-23

Description:

Currently, roles are required for Generation, Use, and isControlledby.

Specifically the following sentence is given:

"Use, Generation, and Control assertions must contain a role."

It is not clear why roles must always be there. In some cases, I may not want to assert the role that something played with respect to a process.

Suggested resolution is to replace MUST with SHOULD.
