Re: PROV-ISSUE-450: DM tables "incomplete" (specifically: activity ending activity) [prov-dm]

Hi Tim,


Here is the change I propose to make:

I have added a table "Table 2 ◊: Secondary elements in PROV-DM 
Relations" listing the various
optional secondary objects.

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/raw-file/default/model/working-copy/prov-dm-issue-450.html


If you are fine with the suggestion, I will include it in the editor's 
draft.
