Activity
An Activity is a on-line collaborative event to which people (or companies) are invited to provide their input. A requirements gathering activity is an example of a Data Collection/Voting activity, which might seek to capture each person's views on the priority of requirements along with suggestions for additions or modifications. An RFP/RFx response is a special type of activity that is designed to capture vendors' responses to questions, requirements, terms and conditions, pricing, and other procurement-related information.
