Thanks Christian-Emil and Martin.

I will use then E4 and P7 (regretfully :-)

My impression is that the combination E92, P160 & P161 is a more elegant 
solution. But, rules are

Well, it is not really about rules, but what you talk about. You need to understand the implications: If you define the Byzantine Period to be just geometric extent, you miss what defines it. If different extents are debated, each one would be a different period.

we would like to be able to say: "I talk about the same period, but I have a different chronology for it, because I found new evidence...". So far, we believe we have solved that....

On the other side, any area within would be part of it, the life of frogs in a ponds etc., because you could not distinguish that such extents take their identity from a different phenomenon.

I do not share your opinion that under-specification of identity conditions is elegant. I think it just creates the mess we are used in conceptual modelling.;-)

rules...

Dan

As Christian-Emil also pointed out, this is a wrong use of E92.

The scope note says: "This class comprises 4 dimensional point sets
(volumes) in physical spacetime....".

Do you regard that what makes up the identity and substance of the
Byzantine Period is to be a set of points?

best,

Martin

Nevertheless, we used the term informally in the CRM. We could name E92 as 
"abstract".
For me, some E92 are not abstract. E.g. I instantiate "Byzantine
Period" (it is somwhat difficult to place it in South America :-) :

<#ByzantinePeriod> <isA> <crm:E92_Spacetime_Volume>
<#ByzantinePeriod> <crm:P160_has_temporal_projection> <330-1700>
<#ByzantinePeriod> <crm:P161_has_spatial_projection> <#EsternEurope>
<#ByzantinePeriod> <crm:P161_has_spatial_projection> <#Levant>
<#ByzantinePeriod> <crm:P161_has_spatial_projection> <#NorthAfrica>

Also:

<#BronzeAge1> <isA> <crm:E92_Spacetime_Volume>
<#BronzeAge1> <crm:P2 has_type> <#BronzeAge-Concept>
<#BronzeAge1> <crm:P160_has_temporal_projection> <p?1>
<#BronzeAge1><crm:P161_has_spatial_projection> <#JapaneseIslands>

<#BronzeAge2> <isA> <crm:E92_Spacetime_Volume>
<#BronzeAge2> <crm:P2 has_type> <#BronzeAge-Concept>
<#BronzeAge2> <crm:P160_has_temporal_projection> <p?2>
<#BronzeAge2><crm:P161_has_spatial_projection> <#Scandinavia>

Should I worry ?

Dan
