100. Scope note of E33 Linguistic Object http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/crm_issues.html#is100
Change scope note to E33 linguistic Object - replace "physical language" with "natural language". Enrich scope note to include languages which are not documented in writing - see "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll. Computer languages and other formal lanuages are to be excluded (to be kept as Information Objects). CURRENT SCOPE NOTE, CRM v.3.3.2 This entity comprises texts of all kind, be they written or recorded speech, in any physical language. PROPOSED NEW SCOPE NOTE: The Linguistic Object entity describes identifiable expressions in a natural language. Linguistic Objects can be expressed in many ways: For example, as written text, recorded speech or sign language. However, the CRM treats Linguistic Objects as distinct from the medium or method by which they are expressed. Note that expressions in formal languages, such as computer code or mathematical formulae, are not treated as Linguistic Objects by the CRM; these should be modeled as instances of E73 Information Object. Examples: the text of the Ellesmere Chaucer manuscript; the lyrics of the song "Blue Suede Shoes"; the text of the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll Cheers, T. ====================================================================== Tony Gill, ArtSTOR Director of Metadata The Andrew W.
