Should COOS include properties to link Activities/Capabilities/InformationObjects/Agents ? #104

As originally expressed:

Maybe the most useful insights that can be derived from the COOS ontology will come from more meaningful / explicit relationships between capabilities and activities (e.g., <enables / informs> ) and between information objects and activities (e.g., , or -- equivalently, as currently:

, etc.).  

and

Other interesting meaningful relationships could be between actors and activities (e.g., , etc.), and between actors and information objects (e.g., <isCustodianOf/isOwnerOf>).

While these relations are of interest in the knowledge domain, COOS is a core ontology; do we consider these properties to be in the scope of this ontology, or is this a work to be carried out in a more generic conceptual model ?

The current proposed alternative is to use PROV with roles to link e.g. organizations and information objects.
