E67 Birth
Subclass of: Beginning of Existence
Scope note: The birth of a human being.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New scope note:
This class describes the birth of a human being only as an
aspect of major cultural concern. Its focus is on the context of
people coming into life. The coming into life of other
living beings is covered by E63 Beginning of Existence. Twins, triplets
etc. are brought into life by the same Birth event. The
introduction of the birth event as documentation element allows for describing
a considerable wealth of family relations in a simple
model. Suitable extensions may describe more details and the complexity of
motherhood with the intervention of modern medicine. The
father is not seen as directly involved in the birth. In rare cases, multiple
offsprings may have different fathers.
Example: The birth of Alexander the Great.
