      The codes should be defined from the perspective of explaining the entity role in the activity.  so the following

      • #quotation "An entity that is copied in full or part by an agent that is not the author of the entity."
      • #source "An entity that is used as input to the activity that produced the target."
      • #revision "An entity that is used by the activity to produce a new version of that entity."
      • #removal "An entity that is removed from accessibility, usually through the DELETE operator."

      thus "derivation" should be removed as it is unnecessary and adds no value.

    Description

      Looking at these codes, the definitions have no clarity around what they mean in the context of Provenance.  E.g. "A primary source for a topic refers to something produced by some agent with direct experience and knowledge about the topic, at the time of the topic's study, without benefit from hindsight."

      What the heck is a topic?  Please re-write these definitions so they will be clearly understood by an implementer.
