ISSUE-369: Should we drop wasStartedByActivity?

drop-startByActivity

Should we drop wasStartedByActivity?

State:

CLOSED

Product:

prov-dm

Raised by:

Luc Moreau

Opened on:

2012-04-30

Description:

There are regular comments about wasStartedByActivity.

MacTed was saying why don't we also have wasStartedByAgent.

Someone else was saying, why don't we have wasEndedByActivity? ... and ByAgent.

In the spirit of simplification, we could drop the concept.
Whenever we want to write

wasStartedByActivity(a2,a2)

we would instead have to write

wasStartedBy(a2,e)
wasGeneratedBy(e,a1)

for some entity.
