ISSUE-557: why collectionMemberOf instead of hadMember?

why collectionMemberOf instead of hadMember?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
XML Serialization
Raised by:
Curt Tilmes
Opened on:
2012-09-18
Description:
I realize collectionMemberOf has extra capabilities over a straight hadMember translation (you can specify the 'complete' flag, and specify multiple members in one go), but could we not keep the "hadMember" name for that element even so?

All the other XML schema fields have kept the same name for the PROV-N and PROV-XML concepts, it just seems a shame to replace hadMember with collectionMemberOf.

The latest PROV-O matches the wording of PROV-DM.
