- <h3>Used and WasGeneratedBy</h3>
+ <h3>Use and Generation</h3>
- <p>An intuitive overview of how to think about use and generation events in Prov-DM.</p>
+ <p>
+ The event of an entity coming into existence is called its <i>generation</i>.
+ The entity will be generated as part of some process execution, e.g. writing
+ a document brings the document into existence, while revising the document brings a new
+ version into existence.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Process executions also make use of entities. For example, revising a document
+ requires the original version of the document, the corrections to be made,
+ the new material to be added, etc.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In Prov-DM, assertions are made that particular process executions used or generated
+ particular entities.
