Executed Activities by an Agent are called achievements if they are atomic
An Activity with at least one Agent that isParticipantIn it, and that executes a Task that typically isDefinedIn a Plan, Workflow, Project, etc.
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.
Prov-O, Activity. Used for Provenance. Capturing What Happended
An occurrence of some Activity that occurs at some point in time and space
A Completed Activity. Used to capture What Happened.
Broad statements of intent or overarching aspirations. Targets and Milestones. Realization, Detailed and Concrete. Measurable.
Refers to the actions, reactions, or conduct of a person or organization in response to internal or external stimuli

A specification of how communication/exchange of variables between two steps should be performed.
A specific type of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur automatically in response to certain cues or triggers.
determination or estimation of the underlying purpose or goal behind a particular action, behavior, or communication
An instantaneous event, or event for short, happens in the world and marks a change in the world, in its activities and in its entities. The term 'event' is commonly used in process algebra with a similar meaning. Events represent communications or interactions; they are assumed to be atomic and instantaneous.
Relation between an Agent, an Organization and Role
Indicaes the Role the Agent plays in a Membership relationship with an Organzation
An ACTIVITY whose major EFFECT is to produce a Plan
A Post represents some position within an organization that exists independently of the person or persons filling it. Posts may be used to represent situations where a person is a member of an organization ex officio (for example the Secretary of State for Scotland is part of UK Cabinet by virtue of being Secretary of State for Scotland, not as an individual person). A post can be held by multiple people and hence can be treated as a organization in its own right.
A squence of Activities. An occurrent that has temporal proper parts and for some time t, p s-depends_on some material entity at t. For example, a PlanExecution is a context including some actions executed by agents according to certain parameters and expected tasks to be achieved from a Plan;
Specification of Occurrent that has temporal proper parts
Why do we do what we do? We believe ....
An office or other premise at which the organization is located
A state refers to a class of manifestations. It may be a precondition or effect of some Activity, or more generally it may enabled or be caused by some Activity. If a state is complex, it may refer to some combination of classes of manifestations. A note on complex states: Say that a shopping activity, Activity-Shop, requires both the VehicleW30LGas state, but also some state wherein the mall is open, OpenMall. Each state would first be defined separately. Then, we can simply state: precondition(VehicleW30LGas,Activity-Shop) AND precondition(OpenMall,Activity-Shop) were the preconditions required disjunctively, we could state: precondition(VehicleW30LGas,Activity-Shop) OR precondition(OpenMall,Activity-Shop) However, in large and complex domains, there will be cases in which the above approach is undesirable. In particular, due to the complexity of the description that results as the state being described becomes more detailed. In many cases it will be more natural and convenient to be able to refer to a single, aggregate state. We therefore extend the representation of States to capture aggregation, as approached in the concept of state trees introduced by TOVE as a construct for the activity cluster. A State may be either non-terminal or terminal. A terminal state has no child states, and therefore refers directly to a class of manifestations, whereas a non-terminal state has child states, which may define some classes of manifestations, or further define some other complex states. NonTerminalState(x) v TerminalState(x) = State(x) A state cannot be both non-terminal and terminal. TerminalState disjointWith NonTerminalState
refers to the existing situation or condition of a particular matter or issue at a specific point in time (past, current or future time). It encapsulates the overall circumstances, events, or conditions that characterize a given situation or context.
Strategic plan outlines the specific steps, initiatives, and objectives necessary to implement a chosen strategy
Strategy refers to the overarching approach or direction chosen to achieve specific goals or objectives.

Something that could potentially be executed, which is merely described but not proposed in any specific way, such as a business process for onboarding a new employee, or the steps in a recipe for making polyethylene from ethylene, is not a task but rather a task specification.
