Re: PROV-ISSUE-384 (prov-role-in-attribution): prov:role in attribution or not? [prov-dm]

Hi Luc,

It's unclear to me if attribution has an underlying activity. If we
agree on that then the definition falls out and we should could use
prov:role with respect to activity.

I guess the argument could be that there is always an activity that
links the agent to an entity in the end. Is that what we say in the
end?

Thanks
Paul
