I saw the definition, it's just that it doesn't seem to align with its 
use in Activity

standardModelUsed is defined as

/"If a standard process model such as The Generic Statistical Business 
Process Model (GSBPN), the Generic Longitudinal Business Process Model 
(GLBPM), Open Archive Information System model (OAIS), etc. has been 
related to this business process, the model and step or sub-step is 
noted here using the Paired External Controlled Vocabulary Entry. 
//*Enter the name of the model in "term" and the step, sub-step, or 
specific portion of the model in "extent"*//./

That seems to align better with Reference than with 
PairedControlledVocabularyEntry, since we need to refer to a schema, 
e.g. "GSBPM", and then to an element in the schema, e.g. "edit & 
imputation". I don't see how to map "GSBPM" to term and "edit & 
imputation" to extent...
