Re: PROV-ISSUE-239 (TLebo): is wasGeneratedBy(e) meaningful? [prov-dm]

Hi Tim,
In the latest draft [1], we stated:

While each of the components activity, time, and attributes is optional, 
at least one of them must be present.

I believe this addresses your concern.
I propose to close the issue pending review.

Regards,
Luc
