Interface for PROV Dictionary Removal.

A PROV Dictionary Definition for Removal: A Removal relation prov:derivedByRemovalFrom(id; d2,d1, {key_1, ..., key_n}) states that d2 is the dictionary following the removal of the set of pairs corresponding to keys key_1...key_n from d1. In other words, the key-set {key_1,...,key_n} is to be seen as the difference in keys and corresponding entities between d1 and d2. Note that this key-set is considered to be complete. This means that we assume that no unknown keys were inserted in or removed from a dictionary derived by a removal relation.

Relevant Factory Methods:

• ProvFactory.newDerivedByRemovalFrom(QualifiedName, QualifiedName, QualifiedName, List, java.util.Collection)
• ObjectFactory.createDerivedByRemovalFrom()
