ISSUE-204: What marks the end of an entity?

end-of-entity

What marks the end of an entity?

State:

CLOSED

Product:

prov-dm

Raised by:

Luc Moreau

Opened on:

2011-12-21

Description:

An entity record is a representation of an entity. An entity has a characterization interval, for which entity attributes have been given values.

The beginning of the characterization interval is given by the generation record for this entity.

But how is the end defined?

I suppose that we may want to support various use cases, including:

- a file is deleted. Is the delete operation a form of usage that is destructive?

- a file is overwritten by a new version

Cheers,
Luc
