PROV-ISSUE-406 (delegation-direction): Direction of prov:Delegation is non-intuitive [Ontology] http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/406 Raised by: Stian Soiland-Reyes On product: Ontology After the rename from prov:Responsibility to prov:Delegation, I believe the PROV-O mapping of actedOnBehalfOf is non-intuitive with regards to the direction. Consider the graph in http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/wiki/Eg-37-delegation-direction showing only the qualified relationship. If you read this intuitively, as someone who will find the RDF in the wild - it easily reads the wrong way. I've discussed some potential solutions on that wiki page: * Make <code>prov:hadDelegate</code> be the unqualified property and change the direction of <code>prov:Delegation</code> ** Should then be pretty obvious; would not have <code>prov:Agent</code> problem ** ..but wrong direction/term according to DM.. *** DM to change actedOnBehalfOf(responsible, delegate) to hadDelegate(delegate, responsible)? * Use more specific properties like <code>prov:responsible</code> rather than confusing <code>prov:agent<code> ** but.. harder to identify the 'special' outgoing link of qualification * Rename <code>prov:Delegation</code> and <code>prov:qualifiedDelegation</code> ** prov:Delegate ? ** prov:ActedOnBehalfOf ? ** .. ? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes
