-		A key notion within these concepts is that a resource may not be the same as a target. Within provenance information, the provenance for a resource may be described with respect to a restricted view of that resource (e.g. the resource at a particular time). This restricted view is termed a target and a Target-URI allows one to locate that target within provenance information. Therefore, the Target-URI connects this restricted view of a resource with the resource itself. 
+		A key notion within these concepts is that a resource may not be the same as a target. Within provenance information, a resource may be described by one or more provenance model:Entities. Thus, a target refers to a provenance model:Entity and a Target-URI allows the target to bef found within provenance information. Where a resource is a provenance model:Entity then it can be used as a target.
