Dear Satra, Robert: Thank you both for your comments. Below is a suggested resolution for your comments on sub-activities. Please let us know if you are fine with it. You can find any suggested changes in the latest editor's draft at http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/prov-dm.html Thanks, Paul ISSUE-447 (subactivity) Original email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-prov-comments/2012Jul/0003.html Tracker: http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/447 Group Response - The Working Group charter identified an initial set of concepts, and made it clear that the working group should not delve into the details of plans and workflows (called then recipe). The charter did not list a notion of subactivity either. - The Working Group considered a notion of subactivity, but does not understand the implication of introducing such a relation to the model. In fact, there is little prior art about this in the provenance community. There is also concern that specifying such a relation would overlap with some workflow specification initiatives. - For this reason, the Working Group decided not to provide a normative definition of such a relation. Instead, the Working Group suggests that a relation such as dcterms:hadPart could used by applications, which would be responsible for ensuring its use is consistent with the model. - The Working Group intends to produce an FAQ page illustrating how such a construct could be used.
