A nanopublication made from templates records them in its publication info: nt:wasCreatedFromTemplate for the assertion template, nt:wasCreatedFromProvenanceTemplate for the provenance one, and nt:wasCreatedFromPubinfoTemplate, one per template, for the publication-info ones.

These links are what allow a nanopublication to be reopened in the form it came from, to be superseded, or to serve as the starting point for another one. They are worth including even in a nanopublication written by hand, since without them it can be read but not maintained through the forms.
