<rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">Erlangen CRM / OWL - An OWL DL 1.0 implementation of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, based on: Nick Crofts, Martin Doerr, Tony Gill, Stephen Stead, Matthew Stiff (eds.): Definition of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model, http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/. This implementation has been originally created by Bernhard Schiemann, Martin Oischinger and Guenther Goerz at the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Department of Computer Science, Chair of Computer Science 8 (Artificial Intelligence) and is currently developed in cooperation with the Department of Museum Informatics of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Nuremberg and the Department of Biodiversity Informatics of the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig Bonn.

>Changes from 2010-04-08 to 2010-07-07: (Fabian Schmidt / Martin Scholz)
- Replaced "." with "_" in Labels of Entities and Properties (e.g. E1_CRM_Entity instead of E1.CRM_Entity)
- Added Functional Units to rdfs:comments of Entities and Properties
Changes from 2010-03-23 to 2010-04-08: (Fabian Schmidt / Martin Scholz)
- All scope notes and examples have been revised and updated according to CIDOC
CRM Version 5.0.2 January 2010.
- Comments have been reformatted: The scope notes are preceeded by the term
"Scope Note:". Examples are preceeded by the word
"Examples:" and each example will start a new line. Examples are
separated by semicolon. A dot terminates the example list.
Changes from 2010-03-02 to 2010-03-23: (Martin Scholz)
- E41_Appellation is no longer a subclass of E62_String. Now, the preferred way
to attach a string to an appellation is to use an extension that provides
E41_Appellation with an appropriate datatype property
(such as has_XSD_String).
- Changes in comments according to amendments and proofreading of CIDOC CRM
Version 5.0.2 (pp. 129-133).
- Examples changed in the comments have been reformatted for better readability:
The word "Examples:" and each following example will start a new
line. Examples are separated by semicolon.
Changes from 2009-12-17 to 2010-03-02:
- P67: scope note updated
- P129: scope note updated
- DataTypeProperties of subclasses of E59_PrimitiveValue have been removed.
The pure ECRM will no longer provide any specific means to represent primitive
values in a data type format (like XSD till now). Instead, derived ontologies
may introduce adequate properties. The ECRM as such is not bound to a specific
domain nor underlying implementation (apart from OWL). Therefore the decision
in favour of a data type format is not made here. The implementation of the
primitive value concepts (E59-E62) as OWL classes is kept, though, to ensure
compatibility / expressiveness between subontologies with different data type
formats.</rdfs:comment>

>Scope Note:
This class comprises any encoding of computable (algebraic) values such as integers, real numbers, complex numbers, vectors, tensors etc., including intervals of these values to express limited precision.
Numbers are fundamentally distinct from identifiers in continua, such as instances of E50 Date and E47 Spatial Coordinate, even though their encoding may be similar. Instances of E60 Number can be combined with each other in algebraic operations to yield other instances of E60 Number, e.g., 1+1=2. Identifiers in continua may be combined with numbers expressing distances to yield new identifiers, e.g., 1924-01-31 + 2 days = 1924-02-02. Cf. E54 Dimension
Examples:
5 (this number is of datatype int);
3+2i (this is a complex number and can be represented by ints and strings);
1.5e-04;
(0.5, -0.7, 88) (the result of this computation is a float number but the expression is treated like a string of CIDOC CRM because of its brackets).
Functional Units:
17. Measurement Information.</rdfs:comment>

>Scope Note:
This general class comprises usable discrete, identifiable, instances of E77 Persistent Item that are documented as single units.
They can be either intellectual products or physical things, and are characterized by relative stability. They may for instance either have a solid physical form, an electronic encoding, or they may be logical concept or structure.
Examples:
my photograph collection (E78 Collection);
the bottle of milk in my refrigerator (E22);
the plan of the Strassburger Muenster (E29);
the thing on the top of Otto Hahn's desk (E19);
the form of the non-smoking sign (E36);
the cave of Dirou, Mani, Greece (E27).
Functional Units:
15. Mark and Inscription Information;
17. Measurement Information;
18. Object Association Information;
23. Object Production Information;
24. Object Title Information;
27. Planned Activities (design, purpose, use);
30. Reproduction Rights Information.</rdfs:comment>

>Scope Note:
This class comprises all phenomena, such as the instances of E4 Periods, E5 Events and states, which happen over a limited extent in time.
In some contexts, these are also called perdurants. This class is disjoint from E77 Persistent
Item. This is an abstract class and has no direct instances. E2 Temporal Entity is specialized
into E4 Period, which applies to a particular geographic area (defined with a greater or lesser
degree of precision), and E3 Condition State, which applies to instances of E18 Physical
Thing.
Examples:
Bronze Age (E4);
the earthquake in Lisbon 1755 (E5);
the Peterhof Palace near Saint Petersburg being in ruins from 1944 – 1946 (E3).

>Scope Note:
This class comprises any gatherings or organizations of two or more people that act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of unifying relationship. In the wider sense this class also comprises official positions which used to be regarded in certain contexts as one actor, independent of the current holder of the office, such as the president of a country.
A gathering of people becomes an E74 Group when it exhibits organizational characteristics usually typified by a set of ideas or beliefs held in common, or actions performed together. These might be communication, creating some common artifact, a common purpose such as study, worship, business, sports, etc. Nationality can be modeled as membership in an E74 Group (cf. HumanML markup). Married couples and other concepts of family are regarded as particular examples of E74 Group.
Examples:
the impressionists;
the Navajo;
the Greeks;
the peace protestors in NYC on February 15 2003;
Exxon-Mobil;
King Solomon and his wives;
the President of the Swiss Confederation.

>Scope Note:
This class comprises the births of human beings. E67 Birth is a biological event focussing on the context of people coming into life. (E63 Beginning of Existence comprises the coming into life of any living beings).
Twins, triplets etc. are brought into life by the same E67 Birth event. The introduction of the E67 Birth event as a documentation element allows the description of a range of family relationships in a simple model. Suitable extensions may describe more details and the complexity of motherhood with the intervention of modern medicine. In this model, the biological father is not seen as a necessary participant in the E67 Birth event.
Examples:
the birth of Alexander the Great.

<rdfs:comment rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"
>Scope Note:
This class comprises the events that result in the simultaneous destruction of one or more than one E77 Persistent Item and the creation of one or more than one E77 Persistent Item that preserves recognizable substance from the first one(s) but has fundamentally different nature and identity.
Although the old and the new instances of E77 Persistent Item are treated as discrete entities having separate, unique identities, they are causally connected through the E81 Transformation; the destruction of the old E77 Persistent Item(s) directly causes the creation of the new one(s) using or preserving some relevant substance. Instances of E81 Transformation are therefore distinct from re-classifications (documented using E17 Type Assignment) or modifications (documented using E11 Modification) of objects that do not fundamentally change their nature or identity. Characteristic cases are reconstructions and repurposing of historical buildings or ruins, fires leaving buildings in ruins, taxidermy of specimen in natural history and the reorganization of a corporate body into a new one.
Examples:
the death and mummification of Tut-Ankh-Amun (transformation of Tut-Ankh-Amun from a living person to a mummy) (E69,E81,E7).

This class comprises identifiable expressions in natural language or languages.
Instances of E33 Linguistic Object can be expressed in many ways: e.g. as written texts, recorded speech or sign language. However, the CRM treats instances of E33 Linguistic Object independently from the medium or method by which they are expressed. Expressions in formal languages, such as computer code or mathematical formulae, are not treated as instances of E33 Linguistic Object by the CRM. These should be modelled as instances of E73 Information Object.
The text of an instance of E33 Linguistic Object can be documented in a note by P3_has note: E62 String
Examples:
the text of the Ellesmere Chaucer manuscript;
the lyrics of the song "Blue Suede Shoes";
the text of the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll;

>Scope Note:
This class comprises activities that result in an instance of E24 Physical Man-Made Thing being increased, enlarged or augmented by the addition of a part.
Typical scenarios include the attachment of an accessory, the integration of a component, the addition of an element to an aggregate object, or the accessioning of an object into a curated E78 Collection. Objects to which parts are added are, by definition, man-made, since the addition of a part implies a human activity. Following the addition of parts, the resulting man-made assemblages are treated objectively as single identifiable wholes, made up of constituent or component parts bound together either physically (for example the engine becoming a part of the car), or by sharing a common purpose (such as the 32 chess pieces that make up a chess set). This class of activities forms a basis for reasoning about the history and continuity of identity of objects that are integrated into other objects over time, such as precious gemstones being repeatedly incorporated into different items of jewellery, or cultural artifacts being added to different museum instances of E78 Collection over their lifespan.
Examples:
the setting of the koh-i-noor diamond into the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother;

<rdfs:comment rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"
>Scope Note:
This class is a specialization of E55 Type and comprises the concepts of materials.
Instances of E57 Material may denote properties of matter before its use, during its use, and as incorporated in an object, such as ultramarine powder, tempera paste, reinforced concrete. Discrete pieces of raw-materials kept in museums, such as bricks, sheets of fabric, pieces of metal, should be modelled individually in the same way as other objects. Discrete used or processed pieces, such as the stones from Nefer Titi's temple, should be modelled as parts (cf. P4_ is composed of).
This type is used categorically in the model without reference to instances of it, i.e. the Model does not foresee the description of instances of instances of E57 Material, e.g.: “instances of gold”.
It is recommended that internationally or nationally agreed codes and terminology are used.
Examples:
brick;
gold;
aluminium;
polycarbonate;
resin.

>Scope Note:
This class comprises actions measuring physical properties and other values that can be determined by a systematic procedure.
Examples include measuring the monetary value of a collection of coins or the running time of a specific video cassette.
The E16 Measurement may use simple counting or tools, such as yardsticks or radiation detection devices. The interest is in the method and care applied, so that the reliability of the result may be judged at a later stage, or research continued on the associated documents. The date of the event is important for dimensions, which may change value over time, such as the length of an object subject to shrinkage. Details of methods and devices are best handled as free text, whereas basic techniques such as "carbon 14 dating" should be encoded using P2_has type (is type of:) E55 Type.
Examples:
measurement of height of silver cup 232 on the 31st August 1997;
the carbon 14 dating of the "Schoeninger Speer II" in 1996 [an about 400.000 years old Palaeolithic complete wooden spear found in Schoeningen, Niedersachsen, Germany in 1995].

>Scope Note:
This class comprises the activities that result in the continuity of management and the preservation and evolution of instances of E78 Collection, following an implicit or explicit curation plan.
It specializes the notion of activity into the curation of a collection and allows the history of curation to be recorded.
Items are accumulated and organized following criteria like subject, chronological period, material type, style of art etc. and can be added or removed from an E78 Collection for a specific purpose and/or audience. The initial aggregation of items of a collection is regarded as an instance of E12 Production Event while the activity of evolving, preserving and promoting a collection is regarded as an instance of E87 Curation Activity.
Examples:
the curation of Mikael Heggelund Foslie’s coralline red algae Herbarium 1876 – 1909 (when Foslie died), now at Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, Norway.

>Scope Note:
This class comprises immaterial items, including but not limited to stories, plots, procedural prescriptions, algorithms, laws of physics or images that are, or represent in some sense, sets of propositions about real or mental things and that are documented as single units or serve as topic of discourse.
This class also comprises items that are “about” something in the sense of a subject. In the wider sense, this class includes expressions of psychological value such as non-figural art and musical themes. However, conceptual items such as types and classes are not instances of E89 Propositional Object. This should not be confused with the definition of a type, which is indeed an instance of E89 Propositional Object.
Examples:
Maxwell’s Equations;
the ideational contents of Aristotle’s book entitled ‘Metaphysics’ as rendered in the
Greek texts translated in … Oxford edition…;
the underlying prototype of any “no-smoking” sign (E36);
the common ideas of the plots of the movie "The Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa and
the movie “The Magnificent Seven” by John Sturges;
the image content of the photo of the Allied Leaders at Yalta 1945 (E38).

>Scope Note:
This class comprises all persistent physical items with a relatively stable form, man-made or natural.
Depending on the existence of natural boundaries of such things, the CRM distinguishes the instances of E19 Physical Object from instances of E26 Physical Feature, such as holes, rivers, pieces of land etc. Most instances of E19 Physical Object can be moved (if not too heavy), whereas features are integral to the surrounding matter.
The CRM is generally not concerned with amounts of matter in fluid or gaseous states.
Examples:
the Cullinan Diamond (E19);
the cave "Ideon Andron" in Crete (E26);
the Mona Lisa (E22).

>Scope Note:
This class comprises items that have a persistent identity, sometimes known as “endurants” in philosophy.
They can be repeatedly recognized within the duration of their existence by identity criteria rather than by continuity or observation. Persistent Items can be either physical entities, such as people, animals or things, or conceptual entities such as ideas, concepts, products of the imagination or common names.
The criteria that determine the identity of an item are often difficult to establish -; the decision depends largely on the judgement of the observer. For example, a building is regarded as no longer existing if it is dismantled and the materials reused in a different configuration. On the other hand, human beings go through radical and profound changes during their life-span, affecting both material composition and form, yet preserve their identity by other criteria. Similarly, inanimate objects may be subject to exchange of parts and matter. The class E77 Persistent Item does not take any position about the nature of the applicable identity criteria and if actual knowledge about identity of an instance of this class exists. There may be cases, where the identity of an E77 Persistent Item is not decidable by a certain state of knowledge.
The main classes of objects that fall outside the scope the E77 Persistent Item class are temporal objects such as periods, events and acts, and descriptive properties.
Examples:
Leonardo da Vinci;
Stonehenge;
the hole in the ozone layer;
the First Law of Thermodynamics;
the Bermuda Triangle.

>Scope Note:
This class comprises identifiers expressed in coding systems for places, such as postal addresses used for mailing.
An E45 Address can be considered both as the name of an E53 Place and as an E51 Contact Point for an E39 Actor. This dual aspect is reflected in the multiple inheritance. However, some forms of mailing addresses, such as a postal box, are only instances of E51 Contact Point, since they do not identify any particular Place. These should not be documented as instances of E45 Address.

1-29-3 Otsuka, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 121, Japan;

>Scope Note:
This class comprises quantifiable properties that can be measured by some calibrated means and can be approximated by values, i.e. points or regions in a mathematical or conceptual space, such as natural or real numbers, RGB values etc.
An instance of E54 Dimension represents the true quantity, independent from its numerical approximation, e.g. in inches or in cm. The properties of the class E54 Dimension allow for expressing the numerical approximation of the values of an instance of E54 Dimension. If the true values belong to a non-discrete space, such as spatial distances, it is recommended to record them as approximations by intervals or regions of indeterminacy enclosing the assumed true values. For instance, a length of 5 cm may be recorded as 4.5-5.5 cm, according to the precision of the respective observation. Note, that interoperability of values described in different units depends critically on the representation as value regions.
Numerical approximations in archaic instances of E58 Measurement Unit used in historical records should be preserved. Equivalents corresponding to current knowledge should be recorded as additional instances of E54 Dimension as appropriate.
Examples:
currency: £26.00;
length: 3.9-4.1 cm;
diameter: 26 mm;
weight: 150 lbs;

<rdfs:comment rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"
>Scope Note:
This class comprises sets of coherent phenomena or cultural manifestations bounded in time and space.
It is the social or physical coherence of these phenomena that identify an E4 Period and not the associated spatio-temporal bounds. These bounds are a mere approximation of the actual process of growth, spread and retreat. Consequently, different periods can overlap and coexist in time and space, such as when a nomadic culture exists in the same area as a sedentary culture.
Typically this class is used to describe prehistoric or historic periods such as the “Neolithic Period”, the “Ming Dynasty” or the “McCarthy Era”. There are however no assumptions about the scale of the associated phenomena. In particular all events are seen as synthetic processes consisting of coherent phenomena. Therefore E4 Period is a superclass of E5 Event. For example, a modern clinical E67 Birth can be seen as both an atomic E5 Event and as an E4 Period that consists of multiple activities performed by multiple instances of E39 Actor.
