Dear all,
One of our use cases which we are having trouble modeling with just the core CRM ontology is measurements of an object in a particular state. For example, we would like to record the measurements of a chest with the lid open, rather than those with the lid closed. It is the same object, just in two different states, resulting in different measurements. The proposed scope note does certainly clarify more than the rather terse original, but if there is any feedback or guidance as to the above situation, we would be greatly appreciative.

In First Order Logic: S16(x) ⊃ E2(x) This does not clarify a lot. I propose: This class comprises the persistence of a particular value range of the properties of a particular thing or things over a time-span. The identity of an instance of S16 State is given by prescribing the properties and value ranges under consideration, such as "me being in my office". From this prescription of properties results the ability to observe the time-span, and possibly the spatial area, for which the specified properties hold. SXX Situation: I propose: This class comprises the persistence of a particular value range of the properties of a particular thing or things over a time-span. The identity of an instance of SXX Situation is given by prescribing kinds of properties and a particular time-span and possibly the spatial area. From this prescription of properties results the ability to observe thevalues of the kinds of properties which hold in the specified time-span and spatial area. Comment: Observations typically describe situations. States need "complete observations" and are often inferred from interpolating between observed situations.
