PropertyRangeDescription
alternateOf inherited Entity
asInBundle inherited Bundle prov:asInBundle is used to specify which bundle the general entity of a prov:mentionOf property is described. When :x prov:mentionOf :y and :y is described in Bundle :b, the triple :x prov:asInBundle :b is also asserted to cite the Bundle in which :y was described.
atLocation inherited Location The Location of any resource.
generatedAtTime inherited dateTime The time at which an entity was completely created and is available for use.
hadMember inherited Entity
hadPrimarySource inherited Entity
invalidatedAtTime inherited dateTime The time at which an entity was invalidated (i.e., no longer usable).
mentionOf inherited Entity prov:mentionOf is used to specialize an entity as described in another bundle. It is to be used in conjuction with prov:asInBundle. prov:asInBundle is used to cite the Bundle in which the generalization was mentioned.
qualifiedAttribution inherited Attribution If this Entity prov:wasAttributedTo Agent :ag, then it can qualify how it was influenced using prov:qualifiedAttribution [ a prov:Attribution; prov:agent :ag; :foo :bar ].
qualifiedDerivation inherited Derivation If this Entity prov:wasDerivedFrom Entity :e, then it can qualify how it was derived using prov:qualifiedDerivation [ a prov:Derivation; prov:entity :e; :foo :bar ].
qualifiedGeneration inherited Generation If this Activity prov:generated Entity :e, then it can qualify how it performed the Generation using prov:qualifiedGeneration [ a prov:Generation; prov:entity :e; :foo :bar ].
qualifiedInfluence inherited Influence Because prov:qualifiedInfluence is a broad relation, the more specific relations (qualifiedCommunication, qualifiedDelegation, qualifiedEnd, etc.) should be used when applicable.
qualifiedInvalidation inherited Invalidation If this Entity prov:wasInvalidatedBy Activity :a, then it can qualify how it was invalidated using prov:qualifiedInvalidation [ a prov:Invalidation; prov:activity :a; :foo :bar ].
qualifiedPrimarySource inherited PrimarySource If this Entity prov:hadPrimarySource Entity :e, then it can qualify how using prov:qualifiedPrimarySource [ a prov:PrimarySource; prov:entity :e; :foo :bar ].
qualifiedQuotation inherited Quotation If this Entity prov:wasQuotedFrom Entity :e, then it can qualify how using prov:qualifiedQuotation [ a prov:Quotation; prov:entity :e; :foo :bar ].
qualifiedRevision inherited Revision If this Entity prov:wasRevisionOf Entity :e, then it can qualify how it was revised using prov:qualifiedRevision [ a prov:Revision; prov:entity :e; :foo :bar ].

value inherited
wasAttributedTo inherited Agent Attribution is the ascribing of an entity to an agent.
wasDerivedFrom inherited Entity The more specific subproperties of prov:wasDerivedFrom (i.e., prov:wasQuotedFrom, prov:wasRevisionOf, prov:hadPrimarySource) should be used when applicable.
wasGeneratedBy inherited Activity
wasInfluencedBy inherited Activity Agent Entity Because prov:wasInfluencedBy is a broad relation, its more specific subproperties (e.g. prov:wasInformedBy, prov:actedOnBehalfOf, prov:wasEndedBy, etc.) should be used when applicable.
wasInvalidatedBy inherited Activity
wasQuotedFrom inherited Entity An entity is derived from an original entity by copying, or 'quoting', some or all of it.
wasRevisionOf inherited Entity A revision is a derivation that revises an entity into a revised version.

FromPropertyDescription
Activity generated inherited
Activity invalidated inherited
Activity used inherited A prov:Entity that was used by this prov:Activity. For example, :baking prov:used :spoon, :egg, :oven .
Activity wasEndedBy inherited End is when an activity is deemed to have ended. An end may refer to an entity, known as trigger, that terminated the activity.
Activity wasInfluencedBy inherited Because prov:wasInfluencedBy is a broad relation, its more specific subproperties (e.g. prov:wasInformedBy, prov:actedOnBehalfOf, prov:wasEndedBy, etc.) should be used when applicable.
Activity wasStartedBy inherited Start is when an activity is deemed to have started. A start may refer to an entity, known as trigger, that initiated the activity.
Agent wasInfluencedBy inherited Because prov:wasInfluencedBy is a broad relation, its more specific subproperties (e.g. prov:wasInformedBy, prov:actedOnBehalfOf, prov:wasEndedBy, etc.) should be used when applicable.
