<li>An <a title="entity record">Entity Record</a> (noted <samp>entity</samp> in the diagram, to reflect the term used in the ASN) is a representation of an <em>entity</em>.
- <li>An <a title="activity record">Activity Record</a>(noted <samp>activity</samp> in the diagram) represents an activity that has an effect on entities, namely it either <em>generates</em> or <em>uses</em> one or more entities. Usage and generation are modelled by means of the <a title="usage record">used</a> and the <a title="generation record">wasGeneratedBy</a> relationships. Activities may include not only computations, but also any other type of activity that can be described in terms of their effect on <samp>entities</samp>.
