What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes atomic actions in the world: who did what, to what, when, where, and with what outcome.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.

Owners Filled
Steward
The acting agent owns the record of its own acts; participants hold correction rights over their participation.
Links to other meta-models Filled
references
- world.person - persons as actors and responsible parties
- world.organization - organizations as actors and delegators
- world.site - sites and places where acts occurred
- world.functionAndCapability - the verb an act instantiates presumes a capability of the actor
imports
- w3c-prov - ALIGN: activity, agent and derivation semantics aligned with PROV
- mu-event - ALIGN: the standard's core event concept, so acts publish as timeline-recordable events

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- actRecorded: an act was captured into the record with its participants, time and place
- outcomeObserved: the result of a previously recorded act was observed and attached
- attributionAsserted: responsibility for an act was assigned or delegated
- derivationEstablished: a lineage link between two acts was recorded
- actCorrected: a recorded act was amended, with the prior version preserved
- actRetracted: a recorded act was withdrawn as erroneous
Legacy events listed as state transitions.
Hazards and failure modes optional Missing, in the backlog
Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review
- actLogAccess: a consumer reads a defined slice of an agent's act log for a stated purpose and period
- provenanceQuery: a consumer traverses derivation links to answer where a result came from, without seeing unrelated acts
- correctionSubmission: a participant submits corrections or retractions to acts it took part in, under review by the record owner
- timelineView: chronological acts of an agent or object; omits attribution and derivation internals
- provenanceGraph: the derivation network around a chosen act or outcome; omits context detail
- activitySummary: counts and rates of acts by class and period; omits individual acts
Context of use required Filled
- Access to act logs and provenance is granted by the owner via the catalogue's ownership and access models (S1/S2), with audit via S4.
