About Entities and Datasets

[Kristin Riebe]

Hi Laurent,

yes, agreed: the provenance model can (and will) be applied before data
publication. If there is no Dataset-Description available already, then
there will be no links to the Dataset-classes.
I tried to clarify it better in Section 3, see the updated document in
the volute repository:
http://volute.g-vo.org/svn/trunk/projects/dm/provenance/description/ProvenanceDM.pdf

Cheers,
Kristin
