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.

    name: started
    description: Start is when an activity is deemed to have been started by an entity,

      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.

    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.

    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.
