    Name Change Event

    https://opda.org.uk/pdtf/NameChangeEventTurtle ↓

    A reified provenance activity (PROV-O Activity) recording a change to a Person's name — by deed poll, marriage, gender recognition, or the like — through which the Person's identity persists; it relates former and current name attributes by prov:wasRevisionOf rather than asserting two distinct persons.

    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).
