ISSUE-223: What is the definition of entity
definition-of-entity
What is the definition of entity
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- prov-dm
- Raised by:
- Luc Moreau
- Opened on:
- 2012-01-19
- Description:
- The prov-dm documents has some form of definition for entity [1] and entity record [2] (likewise, activity [5] and activity record [6]).
Recent discussions indicate that the definitions are not rigorous enough, and subject to too much interpretation.
Indications that an entity can potentially characterize multiple things [3], or that an entity is a class definition [4] are examples of the breadth of interpretation.
The WG should aim to refine these definitions.
