Interface for PROV Invalidation association.

PROV-DM Definition for Invalidation: Invalidation is the start of the destruction, cessation, or expiry of an existing entity by an activity. The entity is no longer available for use (or further invalidation) after invalidation. Any generation or usage of an entity precedes its invalidation.

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

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