In the PROV ontology, the object property wasPrecededBy is using to specify the order of process executions. PROV-DM, however, uses instead two relationships: <a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/ProvenanceModel.html#expression-OrderingOfProcessExecutions">wasInformedBy</a> and <a href="http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/ProvenanceModel.html#expression-OrderingOfProcessExecutions">wasScheduledAfter</a>. The ontology needs to be updated to cater for these two relationships.
