Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your input.

Yes, I am aware that the user doesn't know what has been read/understood 
by the validator.
Can you try the translator and check whether your ttl file translates 
correctly to another prov
representation or svg?

What do you mean about the prov-link parsing error. What do you get?

Luc
