-PROV-DM, the PROV data model, is a data model for provenance that describes
-the entities, people and activities involved in
-producing a piece of data or thing. 
-PROV-DM is organized in six components, respectively dealing with:
-(1)
-entities and activities, and the time at which they were created,
-used, or ended;
-(2) derivations of entities from entities;
-(3) agents
-bearing responsibility for entities that were generated and activities
-that happened;
-(4) a notion of bundle, a mechanism to support
-provenance of provenance; 
-(5) properties to link entities that
-refer to the same thing;
-(6) collections forming a logical structure for its members. 
+Provenance is information about entities, activities, and people involved in producing a piece of data or thing, which can be used to form assessments about its quality, reliability or trustworthiness. PROV-DM is the conceptual data model that forms a basis for the W3C provenance (PROV) family of specifications. PROV-DM distinguishes core structures, forming the essence of provenance information, from extended structures catering for more specific uses of provenance.

 <h4>PROV Family of Specifications</h4>
 This document is part of the PROV family of specifications, a set of specifications defining various aspects that are necessary to achieve the vision of inter-operable
 interchange of provenance information in heterogeneous environments such as the Web.  The specifications are:
 <ul>
-<li> PROV-DM, the PROV data model for provenance;</li>
-<li> PROV-CONSTRAINTS, a set of constraints applying to the PROV data model  (this document);</li>
-<li> PROV-N, a notation for provenance aimed at human consumption;</li>
-<li> PROV-O, the PROV ontology, an OWL-RL ontology allowing the mapping of PROV to RDF;</li>
-<li> PROV-AQ, the mechanisms for accessing and querying provenance; </li>
-<li> PROV-PRIMER, a primer for the PROV data model;</li>
-<li> PROV-SEM, a formal semantics for the PROV data model;</li>
-<li> PROV-XML, an XML schema for the PROV data model.</li>

 </ul>
 <h4>How to read the PROV Family of Specifications</h4>
 <ul>
 <li>The primer is the entry point to PROV offering an introduction to the provenance model.</li>
 <li>The Linked Data and Semantic Web community should focus on PROV-O defining PROV classes and properties specified in an OWL-RL ontology. For further details, PROV-DM and PROV-CONSTRAINTS specify the constraints applicable to the data model, and its interpretation. PROV-SEM provides a mathematical semantics.</li>
-<li>The XML community should focus on PROV-XML defining an XML schema for PROV-DM. Further details can also be found in PROV-DM, PROV-CONSTRAINTS, and PROV-SEM.</li>
 <li>Developers seeking to retrieve or publish provenance should focus on PROV-AQ.</li>
 <li>Readers seeking to implement other PROV serializations
-should focus on PROV-DM and PROV-CONSTRAINTS.  PROV-O, PROV-N, PROV-XML offer examples of mapping to RDF, text, and XML, respectively.</li>

 <h3>Purpose of this document</h3>
 
 <p> PROV-DM is a conceptual data model for provenance, which is
-realizable using different serializations such as PROV-N, PROV-O, or
-PROV-XML.  The PROV-DM specification [[!PROV-DM]] imposes few
+realizable using different serializations such as PROV-O and PROV-N.
+ The PROV-DM specification [[!PROV-DM]] imposes few
 requirements upon sets of PROV statements (or <a>instances</a>).  By
 default, PROV instances need not be valid, that is, they may not
 correspond to a consistent history of objects and interactions to
