Answers the review question "is the PROV-O work sufficiently documented for someone new?" — the audit said depth yes, discovery no. The spec, mapping tables, SPARQL demo, and endpoint all exist, but every path a newcomer actually walks failed to lead there: the feature lived only in a ticked roadmap bullet (which reads as history, not "this exists — use it"), the prior-art list, and a status line still calling PROV-O "next" after it shipped.

Four small fixes:

  • README components table — a PROV-O export row in the page's actual feature index, linking the spec, the runnable SPARQL demo, and the ?format=jsonld endpoint
  • README status line — "M4 is underway — PROV-O export shipped; SHACL/LinkML, DMN, and constraint solving remain"
  • docs/concepts.md — a glossary entry in the fact-contract group: what expands to what, the lineage question it answers, and the deliberately-partial boundary
  • docs/faq.md — the question a governance team actually asks ("can our existing lineage tooling read duly's audit trail?"), answered with both consumption paths and the honest boundary

Merge-order note: the glossary/FAQ links to spec/provo_sparql_demo.py resolve once #13 merges — merge #13 first (or together; nothing conflicts).

An audit of how a newcomer would find the feature showed depth without
discovery: PROV-O lived only in a ticked roadmap bullet (reads as
history), the prior-art list, and a stale status line still calling it
'next'. Now: a components-table row (the page's actual feature index),
a glossary entry in the fact-contract group, an FAQ answer for the
question a governance team actually asks, and the status line updated
to 'M4 underway — PROV-O shipped'.
