Something that an individual or group does.
An Activity may be solitary or involve interactions with others, either in person or virtually. It typically is continuous for a Period (although may be interrupted, for example for comfort breaks).
Activities also usually take place with a fixed group of people and in one or more fixed Spaces for the entire Period – for example a meeting with five people taking place in a specific meeting room. However, these is not always the case: a mail room staff member might be undertaking a “deliver mail” Activity, which involves visiting a number of locations (aka Spaces); or a small group may be interviewing numerous candidates for a position, and whilst all the interviews may take place in the same room (Space), the candidates would come and go through the day (i.e. the Activity does not involve a fixed group of people for the whole Period).
