Agreed. Both domains hold for all subjects that use the property.
The simpler domain is for RL compatibility, and the union is for RL++ use.
They do not contradict.

Correct.

done

DM says:

derivation:
activity: an optional identifier (a) for the activity using and generating the above entities;

invalidation:
activity: an optional identifier for the activity that invalidated the entity;

responsibility:
activity: an optional identifier (a) of an activity for which the responsibility link holds;


PROV-O comment was:

The activity generating the derived entity and using the derived-from entity.

PROV-O comment changed to:

Optional: The Activity that is part of the Involvement, which used, generated, invalidated, or was the responsibility of some Entity.
