      Existing Wording: Provenance.entity.agent - Definition: The entity is attributed to an agent to express the agent's responsibility for that entity, possibly along with other agents. This description can be understood as shorthand for saying that the agent was responsible for the activity which generated the entity.

      Comment:

      If the Provenance.agent is an agent that "takes a role in an activity such that the agent can be assigned some degree of responsibility for the activity taking place", and the activity is the Provenance Control Act acting on the target Resource, then how does a Provenance.agent also be responsible for the one or more entities listed in the Provenance Resource that were somehow used in an unnamed activity which resulted in the target Resource of the Provenance Resource?

      Relationship among the Provenance Resource as an Activity with agents and the relationship between agents and entities used in the activity that resulted in the target Resource need to be clarified.
