Interface for PROV Generation association.

PROV-DM Definition for Generation: Generation is the completion of production of a new entity by an activity. This entity did not exist before generation and becomes available for usage after this generation.

The constructor method ProvFactory.newWasGeneratedBy(QualifiedName, QualifiedName, QualifiedName) can be used to create an instance of WasGeneratedBy. The following code snippet creates a new generation statement, with a role attribute, and current time. The instance of generation is given an identifier myId.

 QualifiedName myId= ... ;  // some qualified name
 QualifiedName entityId= ... ;    // some entity qualified name
 QualifiedName activityId= ... ;  // some activity qualified name
 WasGeneratedBy myWasGeneratedBy=provFactory.newWasGeneratedBy(myId,entityId,activityId);
 myWasGeneratedBy.getRole().add(provFactory.newRole("parameter"));
 myWasGeneratedBy.setTime(provFactory.newTimeNow())
 

Relevant Factory Methods:

• ProvFactory.newWasGeneratedBy(QualifiedName, QualifiedName, QualifiedName)
• ProvFactory.newWasGeneratedBy(QualifiedName, QualifiedName, QualifiedName, javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar, java.util.Collection)
• ObjectFactory.createWasGeneratedBy()
