+The purpose of this section is twofold. First, mechanisms to specify these extended structures are introduced. Second, two further categories of provenance structures are overviewed: they cater for provenance of provenance and collections, respectively.</p>

+<h2>Optional Identification and New Relations</h2>

+<p>We have seen that some concepts exhibit a core use, expressed as
+binary relation, and an extended use, expressed as n-ary relation. In
+some cases, mapping the concept to a relation, whether binary or
+n-ary, is not sufficient: instead, it may be required to able to
+identify an instance.</p>
+
+<p>In such circumstances, PROV-DM allows an optional identifier to be
+expressed to identify an instance of an association between two or
