ISSUE-66: Why is process execution not defined as a characterised entity?

Why is process execution not defined as a characterised entity?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
prov-dm
Raised by:
Simon Miles
Opened on:
2011-07-29
Description:
This was mentioned by Satya in the call, but I can't see it having been raised as an issue yet.

As process executions are identified and may have attributes, including start and end time, are they kinds of characterised entities, similarly to agent? If not, why not?

Related notes:

While Simon has not explicitly agreed on this, it seems that there is consensus for process execution not being a bob/entity. Justification was added to the text.
