PROPOSED: to rename 'process execution' by 'activity'

Activity has well-known broad definitions that do not hold to the constraints we are placing on this concept, primarily, that it occurred in the past.


Which constraints? Can you list them in the document?

A process execution, as a concept outside prov-dm, does not imply the past.
It's prov-dm that constraints PEs to be in the past. It can do the same for activity.
