Hi Martin, I think this is the right approach but have a few queries.
1. As far as I can see a "norm" does not currently exist under "Conceptual Object" in version 3.2 of the CRM - or am I looking at an old version? 2. I'm also not sure that the term "norm" is a good representation - what is its derivation? Perhaps "vision" or "expectation" might be a better term? But I think the definition below is almost right: - An "Expectation" is "created" by an Actor, even if that is in unknown past, and by an ethnic group. - It "refers to" types of things - or actual things (ids) or groups of things? - It "uses" a "plan". - It is "valid for" a time-span. And is the "plan" the identifier for the contractual document or is it a description of the proposed design/procedure to be applied? jane > Dear Jane, > > I think that "traditional care" is a special case of a "norm" (right, > prohibition, prescription). > > It is about future, and can be observed to have been obeyed or not in the > past. > > I think of a general node under "Conceptual Object" of type: > > "Planning or Norm", subclass of Conceptual Object. > > "Design or Procedure" has indirectly do with that, but it deals with the form > of a process and the > respective product, is timeless and intentionless. > > Probably one must distinguish between the "intention", promoted by people, > for certain > things and actors, during a specific time, enforced or not, and an associated > "plan" > or execution schema, the "how" of the intention, abstract from time, > validity, enforcement. > "Enforcement actions" may have their own plans. > > I would see "Design or Procedure" as a case of such "plans - schemata". > > I would assume that a planning or norm may have an associated "plan". > > > A "Planning or Norm" is "created" by an Actor, even if that is in unknown > past, and by an ethnic group. > > It "refers to" types of things. > > It "uses" a "plan". > > It is "valid for" a time-span. > > Specializations seem to be immense. > > Comments? > > > Martin > > Jane Hunter wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I've been working on a project with Jane Sledge at the Smithsonian's > > National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) and one thing we'd like > > to do is to support information describing the preferred traditional > > care of museum artefacts, particularly culturally sensitive artefacts. > > For example certain objects should be stored so that they face east, or > > must not be handled by women.
