 * ref: http://activitystrea.ms/spec/1.0/atom-activity-01.html#activityentrycomplex
 
 * i believe updates to the spec specify that a verb will no longer be
   specified by a URI: see http://wiki.activitystrea.ms/Namespaces

 * the object hierarchy could likely also be something like:
   object-type: research topic
   target object: lab book
