Deal all, Here are my revised scope notes for classes E41-E60 based on CIDOC CRM version 3.4.
In line with ISO guidelines I have added examples systematically at the end of each scope note and separated them from the body of the scope note itself. I have replaced all references to CRM "Entitities" with the word "class". The word "entity" still occurs in the text but with reference to "real-world" entities. I noticed that the list of subclasses was missing for E59 Primitive Value. Is this generated automatically? A minor semantic quibble. The Address Class is a multiple inheritance of Place Appellation and Contact Point. Not all postal addresses have this double nature - notably PO Box numbers, which are contact points but not place names, and addresses of unoccupied buildings, which are place names but not contact points. I have tried to make this clear in the scope notes. Some phrases and remarks in the original text struck me as either incomprehensible or misleading. I have tried to reinterpret these where possible. My apologies if I have failed to get the point and trampled over some important semantic fine-tuning. Best wishes for the New Year Nicholas Crofts Conseiller en systemes d'information DAEL / DSI
