          o Our response to ISSUE-521 partly addresses this issue.
          o PROV delegations are not temporal relations. Instead,
            prov-constraints define ordering constraints that are
            implied by delegations: the responsible agent has to precede
            or has some overlap with the subordinate agent.
          o If in an application, it is necessary to express that a
            delegation takes place over an interval(evt1-evt2) and
            followed by a delegation during interval (evt2-evt3), the
            approach is to model this with two activities, one for the
            first interval, or one for the second interval, and two
            relations actedOnBehalfOf, one for each activity.
