+<p>For example to indicate that an organization now called "Department
+ for Education" was formed as a result of rebranding and
+ restructuring and organization called "Department for Children
+ Schools and Family" we might state:</p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+ <http://example.com/DfE> a org:Organization;
+ skos:prefLabel "Department for Education"@en .
+
+ <http://example.com/DCSF> a org:Organization;
+ skos:prefLabel "Department for Children Schools and Family"@en .

+ rdfs:comment "Post-election re-organization and rebranding"@en ;
+ org:originalOrganization <http://example.com/DfE> ;
+ org:resultingOrganization <http://example.com/DCSF> .
+</pre>
+
+<p>We can use terms from the PROV-O vocabulary to further describe the
+ change event (for example the period of time over which it
+ occurred).<p>
+
+<p>It is sometimes convenient to be able to directly link from an
+ organization to a previous organization from which it descended. This
+ is supported by using
+ the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/#wasDerivedFrom">prov:wasDerivedFrom</a>
+ relationship. ORG declares the property chain axiom:<p>
+
+<pre class="code">
+ SubObjectPropertyOf( ObjectPropertyChain( org:resultedFrom org:originalOrganization ) prov:wasDerivedFrom )
+</pre>
+
+<p>Which can also be expressed using a SPARQL CONSTRUCT</p>
+<pre class="code">
+CONSTRUCT {
+ ?orgR prov:wasDerivedFrom ?orgO .
+} WHERE {
+ ?orgR org:resultedFrom / org:originalOrganization ?orgO .
+}
+</pre>
+
+<p>Thus in our previous example, given
+ that <a href="#org:resultedFrom">org:resultedFrom</a>
+ and <a href="#org:resultingOrganization">org:resultingOrganization</a>
+ are inverse of each other, we can deduce:<p>
