+Updated text as follows: 
+
+For example, suppose we have two activity statements activity(a,2011-11-16T16:00:00,_t1,[a=1]) and activity(a,_t2,2011-11-16T18:00:00,[b=2]), with existential variables _t1 and _t2. The merge of these two statements (describing the same activity a) is activity(a,2011-11-16T16:00:00,2011-11-16T18:00:00,[a=1,b=2])

+@James: 
+
+prov-dm defines attributes as "set of attribute-value pairs "
+I would replace unordered list by set here? ok?
