I think this term is too broad and the term associated does not carry the semantics of what we are trying to say with this relation in prov.

actedOnBehalf is between an Activity and an Agent?  Or an Agent and another Agent?

- 10 to both for reasons I have stated before.

I propose that actedOnBehalfOf should be a qualifier on a wasControlledBy relation.  It should be a relation between a qualified wasControlledBy (e.g. Control in PROV-O) and an Agent.
