Dear All,
Since E46 Section Definition has been deprecated, we need to change the
scope note of P59:
P59 has section (is located on or within)
Domain:E18 <#_E18_Physical_Thing> Physical Thing
Range:E53 <#_E53_Place> Place
Quantification:one to many (0,n:0,1)
Scope note:This property links an area to the instance of E18 Physical
Thing upon which it is found.
It is typically used when a named E46 Section Definition is not
appropriate.
E18 Physical Thing may be subdivided into arbitrary regions.
/P59 has section (is located on or within)/is a shortcut. If the E53
Place is identified by a Section Definition, a more detailed
representation can make use of the fully developed (i.e. indirect) path
from /E18 Physical Thing through P58 has section definition, E46 Section
Definition, P87 is identified by //E44 Place Appellation//./A Place can
only be located on or within one Physical Object.
Examples:
§HMS Victory (E22) /has section/ HMS Victory section B347.6 (E53)
New Scope note:
"This property links an area, i.e., an instance of E53 Place to the
instance of E18 Physical Thing upon which it is found. This area may
either be identified by a name, or by a geometry in terms of a
coordinate system adapted to the shape of the respective instance of E18
Physical Thing. Typically, names identifying sections of physical
objects are composed of the name of a kind of part and the name of the
object itself, such as "The poop deck of H.M.S. Victory", which
iscomposed of "poop deck" and "H.M.S. Victory". "
Best,
Martin
