11 A technological process or interaction which takes place at a certain point in time, <ref target="sioc:has_creator">has a creator</ref>, and has at least one <ref target="siocactions:object">object</ref> which is a <ref target="siocactions:DigitalArtifact">Digital Artefact</ref>.
14 Actions are performed <em>on</em> their objects by their creators; the intention of this class is to model digital processes such as resource creation, modification, or deletion by <ref target="contact:SocialEntity">Social Entities</ref>, to whom the processes might be attributed.
17 When an Action is performed by a <ref target="sioc:UserAccount">User Account</ref> (for example), there may be two different ways of representing it :—
22 With the User Account as the creator, or
25 With the Social Entity that the User Account is an <ref target="sioc:account_of">account of</ref> as the creator, <ref target="siocactions:uses">using</ref> the User Account in the Action.
30 Which representation is preferred depends on the desired <em>attribution</em> of the Action.
