    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.

      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.
