Core Activity
A core activity is an experimental activity whose outcome cannot be known or determined in advance and that is conducted for the purpose of generating new knowledge.
Supporting Activity
A supporting activity is then directly related to one of the core activities. As the name of it says itself it has to “support” the core activity and it’s only a supporting activity if it’s undertaken for the dominant purpose of supporting core activities.
