Introduce Task class

[FranckCo]

Discussed during Unece MSWW on June 26: 'Activity' is used in COOS as a very broad term, in alignment to the PROV sense. But sometimes, 'Activity' evokes fine-grained activities that are smaller then GSBPM sub-processes (and contained in one of them). We need a specific term to convey this meaning. The term 'Task' was suggested.

The proposal is thus to create a 'Task' sub-class of StatisticalActivity which would be skos:narrower than coos:SubProcess.

This is a draft proposal to introduce the concept of Task and to have a balanced GAMSO-GSBPM terminology

GAMSO Defines 4 Activity Areas:

• Strategy and Leadership
• Capability Development
• Corporate Support
• Production Activity Areas have Activities Some Activities are Statistical Activities: Like:
• Manage Statistical Methodology
• Produce Statistical Information Processes have activities The Statistical Process (described by GBPM) is a kind of process that contains StatisticalProductionActivities Activities have Tasks, StatisticalProductionActivities are composed of StatisticalProductionTasks which are a kind of Tasks (specialized on the Production of Statistical Information)

Decision during August 29 VC: agree to introduce Task with appropriate definition. Proposal: "A task is a statistical activity which is scoped by a given GSBPM sub-process. Tasks can more or less fine-grained and form hierarchies."

Decision during September 19 VC: proposed definition (9e34320) adopted.
