Quoting from Luc's email that raised this issue:

My response was:

>[This issue seems] to be reacting to the fact that in the Events section, >there are relations Used and Generated that relate an event to an entity that >it uses or generates, and you are asking where is the link between the event >and the activity.

>The answer is in the next subsection on Activities, which gives another

>that too though.

I feel that this addresses the issue, perhaps modulo a note of explanation in PROV-SEM.  Does anyone disagree?
