Dear Dieter,

I suggest to use "P130 shows features of" and P130.1 kind of similarity: 
"Transcript".
I'd regard your manuscript as a E33 Linguistic Object in any case, it can be in 
addition
a Visual Item, but I don't think tiny decorations would make this 
classification necessary.

Trying to record the structure of a manuscript and its digital reproductions with CIDOC CRM 4.2.2 I come across the following problem. I have a digital facsimile and a normalized transcription of a manuscript. The facsimile consists of scans of the individual pages of the manuscript; the transcription is normalized by correcting misspellings, skipping deleted passages and rearranging some others (according to insertion marks in the manuscript).

I understand that
(A) the physical manuscript is an E84 Information Carrier
(B) a digital scan is an E73 Information Object (more precisely an E36 Visual Item) (C) a transcription is an E73 Information Object (I am not sure whether I can use E33 Linguistic Object here, because some paragraphs contain tiny non-linguistic illustrations within the textual sequence) (D) a particular file on the hard disk containing a scan is an E84 Information Carrier (E) a particular file on the hard disk containing a transcription is an E84 Information Carrier

The following relations apply:
(A) P128 carries (B)
(A) P128 carries (C)
(D) P128 carries (B)
(E) P128 carries (C)

(B) and (C) are distinct E73 Information Objects, but nevertheless the transcription (C) is an interpretation of the visual clues of (B), expressed for example in: "The vertical stroke in the first line is the word 'I'."

I think it would be useful to have a predicate in CIDOC-CRM to indicate that one Information Object is not identical with but derived from another. The closest predicates in meaning are 'P67 refers to' and 'P138 represents'. However, it seems that neither is really accurate here. Any ideas?
