    Name Change Event

    https://opda.org.uk/pdtf/NameChangeEvent

    Reified PROV-O activity recording a Person's name change (deed-poll, marriage, gender recognition, etc.). The Person's identity PERSISTS through the name change per S006 Q1 — one Person individual with a name-attribute provenance chain via prov:wasRevisionOf, NOT two distinct Persons. Anti-pattern: owl:sameAs across the former/current names (cross-context inference propagation).

    Classification

    UFO: Event particular (Guizzardi 2005 Ch. 4 §4.7). DOLCE: Achievement (Masolo et al. 2003 D18 §4.4 — instantaneous administrative event).
