I would argue against Participation as a parent property of isGeneratedBy. I do not think that being the result of a process execution entails participation. Does a cake participate in getting baked? Does 'book now owned by person b' participate in getting sold from person A to person B? For that matter, I am not sure I am happy with Participation as a parent property of isUsedBy. When I think of participation I think of agents. Agents participate, non-agents get used. If a thing with no agency is acted upon in a process execution, is it participating? I would agree that Participation is a parent property to isControlledBy. It would seem logical to argue that an agent that controls a process execution, participates in the process execution. --Stephan On 7/26/2011 7:29 PM, Provenance Working Group Issue Tracker wrote: > PROV-ISSUE-49 (Participation): Suggested definition for Participation [Conceptual Model] > > http://www.w3.org/2011/prov/track/issues/49 > > Raised by: Satya Sahoo > On product: Conceptual Model > > Participation is a property linking BOB with Process execution,where BOB isUsedBy or isGeneratedBy or plays some other role in a Process execution. > > This definition makes participation a parent property of both isUsedBy and isGeneratedBy properties. Also, this helps cover scenarios where BOB helps in execution of a process but is not consumed by or generated by process execution (it can be re-used in another process execution) > > > >
