Hi Tom,

I was wondering in the Dublin Core view of the world whether being a 
doman model is a good thing or not?

A note on complexity, I believe the core PROV model is fairly straight 
forward but there is complexity that helps to address a number of other 
use cases. I think as a working group we can do a better job of 
presenting the PROV-DM in a simplified fashion. We're working on it but 
obviously would love the DC's input on ensuring that it is simple and 
that it interacts well with Dublin Core.

Thanks,
Paul
