ISSUE-449: Better definition of prov:value

Better definition of prov:value

State:
CLOSED
Product:
prov-dm
Raised by:
Timothy Lebo
Opened on:
2012-07-09
Description:
Although we know that prov:value is very useful,

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/prov-dm.html#term-attribute-value

does not provide a satisfactory definition.

We are copying rdf:value: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_value which provides an equally unsatisfying definition:

[[[
rdf:value is an instance of rdf:Property that may be used in describing structured values.

rdf:value has no meaning on its own. It is provided as a piece of vocabulary that may be used in idioms such as illustrated in example 16 of the RDF primer [RDF-PRIMER]. Despite the lack of formal specification of the meaning of this property, there is value in defining it to encourage the use of a common idiom in examples of this kind.
]]]

Can we do better?

Thanks,
Tim
