provided_by Note that this property connects a resource to an agent, not to some other information resource from which it came (e.g. another database or an API from which the resource in question was obtained). Use the 'source' property to capture this type of relationship. Consider: pav:providedBy A relationship between an information resource found in some information system, and the agent (person, organization, computational agent) who is responsible for sharing/providing it to that information system.
