Slot: delegated_by

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.

notes:
- This is PROV-O's "acted_on_behalf_of", which is a short-cut property -- "Delegation"
  also identifies an agent.
- naming is different for homogeneity with the other slots
