I would probably model these in one of two ways depending on the nature of the general association.
A] As parts of a larger physical man made thing; so in your example the telephone box and the exchange a part of a regional telecommunications system which in turn is part of a national telecommunications system. B] As both being present/participating in a period, event or activity; so this Napoleonic sea fort and this Napoleonic military canal are constructed as events that form part of the Napoleonic British Defence Period. I suppose as a last resort you could create an Information Object which refers to them all and name the Information Object as "A list of things which I am interested in for X reason"; your essay of why could then be attached via P3 has note. In this case what you are modelling is not the relationship between the things but your/your organisation's believe that there is a relationship (however tenuous!) between them.

In the original graphs we used a British Museum extension property (PXX_is_related_to) as a work around to allow us to represent the general association relationship we had in legacy datasets. eg. this telephone kiosk has a general association with this telephone exchange. We now want to continue to be able to model a general association but the only property available P69 has association with (is associated with) is restricted in its domain and range to E29 Design or Procedure. How do we model the 'If you're interested in that you might be interested in this' nature of the general association between two physical man made things? All thoughts appreciated.
