Continuing:
I don't know, why E78 Collection attracts so much attention. The scope
note of
E19 Physical Object says:
"The class also includes all aggregates of objects made for functional
purposes of whatever kind, independent of physical coherence, such as a
set of chessmen. Typically, instances of E19 Physical Object can be
moved (if not too heavy)."
The CRM is not a terminological system to classify things. It is made to
provide relevant properties. We should only use a more specific class,
if we expect the respective additional properties to be relevant for
querying. To say that an E19 "has type: Hoard" should be enough. Only if
we want to specify a curator and an E87 Curation Activity with a
curation plan, using E78 Collection would be adequate. The less classes
we use, the more effective the queries.
Best,
Martin

In the case a curator in a museum buries his collection, a hoard may be
considered as as a collection. The collection class is intended for museum
collections, see the examples in the scope note.

Subject: [Crm-sig] A hoard as crm:E78_Collection ?
Friends
I have to say that a particular coin is a member of a particular hoard. I
googled
to see how others are dealing with that, but...
I'm tempted to:
<coin> <crm:P46i_forms_part_of> <hoard>
<hoard> <rdf:type> <crm:E78_Collection>
abusing a bit the E78 scope note:
"This class comprises aggregations of instances of E18 Physical Thing that are
assembled and maintained (“curated” and “preserved,” in museological
terminology) by one or more instances of E39 Actor over time for a specific
purpose and audience, and according to a particular collection development
plan."
The "... according to a particular collection development plan." troubles me.
Can we say that the guy burying a hoard had a "collection development plan" ?
There is a better practice for modelling that ?
Dan
PS. Not to mention that I would like to associate the discovery event with the
hoard, not with the coin.
