Dear Nick, Thank you very much for your revision. Just let me make some minor comments:
a) By decision, the term "property link" should not be used.
b) I propose a common notation for "see also" references. Who is in favour
for "cf." ?, is this an ISO recommendation?
E49: "prehistoric" seems more to be an appellation for a period: It has
different meaning
from place to place (and from people to people). I prefer "B.C." as example.
E53: Is "Here -><-" the point on my paper copy of your text? Just for fun...
I regarded as useful for E46 Section Definition to refer to respective
bibliography.
I thought it may be useful to expand the sope notes of E54 Dimension, E55 Type,
E57 Material, and
to add more examples at several points. I am not sure, if my extension make the
things more clear than what you have already written, and if my English
is comprehensible. Comments welcome.
Are the terms "universals" and "particulars" generally known, or do they need
definition/ reference ?
I attach my proposal for another revision.
best,
Martin

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 noteitself.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 namesbut 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
