Activity

Structure:

(actor, verb, object, target)

Examples:

• Allan submitted a request.
• Michael followed up on a request.
• The FBI rejected Allan's request.
• We automatically followed up on Michael's request.

A few proposals (mostly semantic, but that's important in this case):

• The only objects capable of being actors are users and agencies. Users initiate their actions, agencies initiate theirs, and automated events are attributed to the robot that we hold responsible for them. Users and agencies may only be the actors or targets of actions.
• Requests may only be objects or targets. As in, a request doesn't have the power to do anything itself, it can only have things done to it. It can be submitted, it can be rejected, it can be followed up on. But a request can never automatically follow up on itself.
