Thank you for pushing this forward, Martin! Quantification wise, I would be in favor of 0,1 : 0,1.
If the structure of the set of symbols changed, then it would be a different symbolic object according to my understanding of E90: > … identifiable symbols and any aggregation of symbols … that have an > objectively recognizable structure and that are documented as single units. Similarly, if the same string was used by different Symbolic Objects, then it seems like they would actually be the same symbolic object (or you would instead use two strings with the same data). (And in the RDF projection this makes no difference, as literal values do not have their own separate identity) For the examples, I would replace the Little Red Riding Hood example with one that is complete, to avoid confusion with the scope note requirement of being represented completely. How about: > The Accession Number (E42) of the J. Paul Getty Museum’s “Abduction of > Europa” (E22) _has symbolic content_ “95.PB.7“ And for the file question, do you mean that the symbolic object is the MS Word file, which has a representable set of (binary) symbols, or that the symbolic object is text which is incorporated within the file, but not verbatim (as the characters in the (e.g.) paragraph are likely to be represented in the file using very a different structure).

The question is, how to deal with a file, which is more specific in content, such as an MS Word, but represents the character sequence that defines the content of the respective E90. Is is "is incorporated in", or a subproperty of it?

In CRM RDFS subproperty of: rdfs:value Scope note: This property associates an instance of E90 Symbolic Object with a complete, identifying representation of its content in the form of an instance of E62 String. This property only applies to instances of E90 Symbolic Object that can be represented completely in this form. The representation may be more specific than the symbolic level defining the identity condition of the represented. This depends on the type of the symbolic object represented. For instance, if a name has type "Modern Greek character sequence", it may be represented in a loss-free Latin transcription, meaning however the sequence of Greek letters. As another example, if the represented object has type "English words sequence", American English or British English spelling variants may be chosen to represent the English word "colour" without defining a different symbolic object. If a name has type "European traditional name", no particular string may define its content. Examples: * The materials description (E33) of the painting (E22) _has symbolic content_ “Oil, French Watercolors on Paper, Graphite and Ink on Canvas, with an Oak frame.” * The title (E35) of Einstein’s 1915 text (E73) _has symbolic content_ “Relativity, the Special and the General Theory“ * The story of Little Red Riding Hood (E33) _has symbolic content_ “Once upon a time there lived in a certain village …” * The inscription (E34) on Rijksmuseum object SK-A-1601 (E22) _has symbolic content_ “B” On 9/17/2018 10:38 PM, Robert Sanderson wrote: Examples I have a lot of!

So now we need to draft the text to describe this property, in suitably generalized terms, for the CRM, and then update our RDF documentation to say exactly how it is to be used in that context. Perhaps we should start with some examples? Richard On 17/09/2018 19:49, Robert Sanderson wrote: Thank you, Martin!

The "level of symbolic specificity" by which the String is interpreted should conform to the type of the Symbolic Object.

That would make the meaning of the "value" unambiguous. Again, I'm in complete agreement with this line of thought. One decision we should make is whether this property forms part of the generic CRM framework, or if it is to be an implementation-specific property which only appears in our RDF implementation of the CRM. My instinct is for it to go into the CRM proper: the treatment of Symbolic Object and its subclasses would I think be made clearer by the addition of this property. For CRM proper! OK: perhaps we should start a new issue to address this? -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Martin Doerr | Vox:+30(2810)391625 | Research Director | Fax:+30(2810)391638 | | Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | | Center for Cultural Informatics | Information Systems Laboratory | Institute of Computer Science | Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) | | N.Plastira 100, Vassilika Vouton, | GR70013 Heraklion,Crete,Greece | | Web-site: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl | -------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Crm-sig mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.ics.forth.gr/mailman/listinfo/crm-sig -- Richard Light _______________________________________________ Crm-sig mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.ics.forth.gr/mailman/listinfo/crm-sig -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Martin Doerr | Vox:+30(2810)391625 | Research Director | Fax:+30(2810)391638 | | Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> | | Center for Cultural Informatics | Information Systems Laboratory | Institute of Computer Science | Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) | | N.Plastira 100, Vassilika Vouton, | GR70013 Heraklion,Crete,Greece | | Web-site: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl | -------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------ Dr. Martin Doerr Honorary Head of the Center for Cultural Informatics Information Systems Laboratory Institute of Computer Science Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) N.Plastira 100, Vassilika Vouton, GR70013 Heraklion,Crete,Greece Vox:+30(2810)391625 Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Web-site: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl
