Hi everyone! 
(This is particularly for Martin and Dominic, but comments from everyone are 
welcome)

The BM mapping uses two patterns to express the relation of an entity 
(typically person) to an event:

1. use reification over the relation (bmo:EX_Association is a subclass of CRM 
Attribute Assignment):

  Illustrated on http://www.cidoc-crm.org/docs/CRMPrimer_v1.1.pdf   p.15

2. make sub-event (e.g. Production part) and put the relation type there:

  This is not well illustrated in the CRMPrimer:
  p17 shows a sole event part, and p18 shows two parts but without P2_has_type.
  But you get the idea

2 is used more often in the mapping (see the page above).
1 is used less often: for Influenced/Motivated relations (not for P14 carried 
out by), and to express uncertainty.
Specifically: Acquired Through (contributor), Probably/Unlikely Produced By, 
(production) Influenced By, Production Motivated By, Probably Produced At, Made 
For Place

Martin and Dominic have said that 2 is more open-world while 1 is more 
close-world.
Could you please explain this to me?
It's very important for me as I move closer to Getty ULAN and CONA modeling.

Thanks in advance!
