-<p>We note that an activity start associates an activity with an agent, and is denoted by the name <span class="name">wasStartedBy</span>.  A <a>control ordering</a> relation associates an
-activity with another activity, also denoted by the name <span class="name">wasStartedBy</span>. Effectively, by considering both relation types, the relation <span
