I notice that activity id is mandatory for used, whereas it is optional for wasGeneratedBy. I think we should be consistent between the two option, i.e., having activity id as optional or mandatory for the two relations. If, however, we end up specifying activity id as optional, then we should probably change the name of the relation wasGeneratedBy -> generated khalid On 06/02/2012 22:57, Paolo Missier wrote: > The activity should not be optional, surely? > > -Paolo > > On 2/6/12 9:19 PM, Provenance Working Group Issue Tracker wrote: >> PROV-ISSUE-239 (TLebo): is wasGeneratedBy(e) meaningful?
