Interface for PROV Dictionary Membership
A PROV Dictionary Definition for Membership: Similar to the collection membership relation, the dictionary membership allows stating the members of a Dictionary. However, it provides additional structure. Note that dictionary membership implies collection membership, but not vice versa.

Relevant Factory Methods:
- ProvFactory.newDictionaryMembership(QualifiedName, List)
- ObjectFactory.createDictionaryMembership()
