IVOA provenance DM

The values used to control the activity can be provided as a Configuration file document, which contains a key=value list . This belongs to the Activity Configuration package , has the same life cycle as the activity which is configured from it . However the description of such a Configuration file , is the same as a DatasetDescription . It inherits the attributes , but not the behaviour as it cannot be involved in link to UsageDescription reserved to Entities stored in the Core Provenance. The mechanism to search a value into this Document is managed by the project providing the Provenance information, usually using contextual text search. This is outside the scope of this model.
