+	Note that there is no disjointness between entities and agents. This is because one might want to make statements about the provenance of an agent, by making it an entity. 
+	Thus, one MAY assert both <span class="name">entity(a1)</span> and <span class="name">agent(a1)</span> in a valid PROV instance. However, it is recommended that users SHOULD refrain from using the same identifier for an entity and an agent unless they refer to the same thing.
