PROV-O

• Status update
  • PROV-O HTML and collections in OWL.
• Questions to be reviewed for.
  • Does the HTML file provide an adequate overview of the OWL design elements?
  • Do the different organizations of PROV-O HTML and DM complement each other, or is it distracting?
  • Would any additional comments (or attributes) help you read the cross reference list in PROV-O HTML?
  • Are the comments within the OWL file adequate to familiarize with the structure? If not, what kinds of comments would help?
  • Should the OWL file contain any links to documentation (e.g., to the DM, to examples, etc.)?
  • Can the document be released as a next public working draft? If no, what are the blocking issues?
• Reviewer Reminder: Luc, Paul, Simon (added today: sam and macted)

PROV-Primer

• Reviewer Reminder: Paolo, Christine, Curt
• Review Questions:
  • In constrast to the DM and PROV-O, the primer talks about "roles" rather than "qualified involvement" in general. The rationale is that it is a more intuitive starting point for readers new to PROV. However, two (internal WG) reviewers have both suggested that "qualified involvement" should be discussed instead. What is your opinion?
  • Do you think the document is accessible to all the major communities who would want to adopt PROV or, if not, where are the deficiencies?
  • Can the document be released as a next public working draft? If no, what are the blocking issues?

PAQ
