Description
An English description of the definition (what distinguishes this sense of the term?).
An Activity describes something that occurs in the domain. An Activity may be further defined by (decomposed into) Subactivities. An Activity may have precondition and/or effect State. An Activity may be enabled by or cause some State. An enabling of causing state is a generalization of a precondition/effect; an Activity is enabled by or causes some State if it has a subactivity with a precondition or effect (respectively) of that State. In other words, the state may not be required directly before, or cause directly after the activity, but by some more specialized sub-activity. An Activity occurs at some point in time and space. An Activity takes place during some interval, and so has some duration. An Activity may have some Manifestations that participate in it.
Class Diagram Description
Figure 2 illustrates the use of the Activity Ontology to describe a class of objects that should be identified as “Drive to Work” activities, where the effect of such an activity is a Conjunctive state. The conjunctive state is decomposed into two terminal states, meaning that it should be interpreted as a state where both sub-states (DriverAtWork and CarAtWork) are true.
Required by Use Case(s)
(why is this specialized definition needed?)
