Again, the current construct in owl file is "Usage (class)
->hadQualifiedUsage (property) -> Activity (class).

Can you please clarify if you are suggesting that we introduce a new
property called hadActivity that is just an inverse of hasQualifiedUsage
(and does not capture any additional information)?

But, can you please clarify whether DM will allow only Activity to be
associated with time, in other words Generation, Usage, etc. cannot be
associated with Time (else we will have to allow QualifiedInvolvement and
many - not all, of its subclasses to be associated with Time, which will
push prov-o out of RL profile)?

What should change?

So, we are consistent with DM3.

First, we need clarification as to whether DM will allow only Activity to
be associated with Time?
