Confusing use of wasQuotedFrom in primer

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Primer
Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:
Public comment from Chuck Morris:

"I just looked over the provenance primer. One thing I noticed is that the wasQuotedFrom relationship is very confusing semantically. Take the example in the primer where Betty posts a blog entry with a quote from the newspaper article. The provenance is expressed as (ex:blogEntry prov:wasQuotedFrom ex:article .) But that seems to imply that the blog entry was quoted by the newspaper article instead of the other way around. I suggest that a better name for the relationship would be prov:hadQuotationFrom."
