Class: Delegation
Delegation is the assignment of authority and responsibility to an agent (by itself or by another agent) to carry out a specific activity as a delegate or representative, while the agent it acts on behalf of retains some responsibility for the outcome of the delegated work. For example, a student acted on behalf of his supervisor, who acted on behalf of the department chair, who acted on behalf of the university; all those agents are responsible in some way for the activity that took place but we do not say explicitly who bears responsibility and to what degree.

started:
name: started
description: Start is when an activity is deemed to have been started by an entity,
known as trigger. The activity did not exist before its start. Any usage, generation,
or invalidation involving an activity follows the activity's start. A start
may refer to a trigger entity that set off the activity, or to an activity,
known as starter, that generated the trigger.
notes:
- PROV-O "startedAt" is a short-cut property. "Start" also has "atTime".
- name is just started, because the association class Start has both time information
and trigger information. Hence the name needs to capture both started_by and
started_at. "started" has the unfortunate ambiguity of having started an activity,
however the range "Start" is an "EntityInfluence" where the linked "object"
is an Entity -- hopefully limiting the confusion.

as ender that generated the trigger.

comments:
- This is conceptually the same as an instance-level `broad_mappings`. It can
make sense to use this slot (in addition) in order to enable straightforward
type declarations for instances from a controlled, application specific vocabulary,
while also keeping the ability to use `broad_mappings` for alignment with external
vocabularies and applications.

attributes:
name: attributes
description: Declares a relation that associates a `Thing` (or another attribute)
with an attribute, where an attribute is an intrinsic characteristic, such as
a quality, capability, disposition, function, or is an externally derived attribute
determined from some descriptor (e.g. a quantity, position, label/identifier).
Technically, this declaration is done via an `AttributeSpecification` that combines
a `predicate` with a value declaration and the attribute-related slots of a
`Thing`. Importantly, such attributes are declared inline, because they do not
have a unique identifier. If an identifier is available, a `Thing` declaration
(see `relation`), and a qualification of that relationship via a `Statement`
(see `characterized_by`) should be preferred.

Typically, no explicit value needs to be assigned to this slot, because it matches
the class type of a particular record. However, this slots can be used as a
type designator of a schema element for validation and schema structure handling
purposes. This is used to indicate specialized schema classes for properties
that accept a hierarchy of classes as their range.
