 <h4 id="fourth-public-working-draft">Fourth Public Working Draft</h4>
 <p>This is the fourth public release of the PROV-DM document.

The PROV-DM release is synchronized with the release of the PROV-O, PROV-PRIMER, PROV-N, <span class="insert">and </span>PROV-DM-CONSTRAINTS documents. We are now <span class="delete">making clear what</span><span class="insert">clarifying</span> the entry path to the PROV family of <span class="delete">specifications is.</span><span class="insert">specifications.</span></p>
