Re: PROV-ISSUE-352 (rename-WasQuotedFrom): A better name for wasQuotedFrom [prov-dm]

Hi Tim, Luc.
>From what I understood, I thought that wasQuotedFrom was way less
restrictive.
For instance, if a blogger writes an opinion and quotes another article in
a blog post
I would expect him to assert that the post wasQuotedFrom the article:

:post prov:wasQuotedFrom :article
(Therefore the prov:hadQuoteFrom would make sense, as in your example)

Instead, if I understood correctly, we are forcing him to create an
intermediate entity just for the quote
that is used in the publication activity which generated the article. I
can't see how that is scruffy provenance
(wasn't it supposed to be a shortcut??):

:quote a prov:Entity;
          prov:wasQuotedFrom :article.

:publActivity a prov:Activity;
                  prov:used :quote;
                  prov:generated :post.

:post a prov:Entity;
        prov:wasGeneratedBy :publActivity.

Since it was a kind of derivation, I assumed that if you added additional
stuff to the entity that is repeating
some of all of the other entity it would be a quotation...
Appart from the notion of retweeting, then I don't find the shortcut very
useful, to tell you the truth. People
use to comment what they are quoting, IMO.

Thanks,
Daniel
