Martin,
Returning to your original point, I think the first paragraph of the scope note
for E60 is sufficient. I don't think that the second paragraph adds
explanatory value, and I suggest that it is removed. This text is not
concerned with implementation details, so we don't need to discuss encoding of
numbers here.
Best wishes,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Sorry, should have been "NEW ISSUE".:-[

Martin,
Is this an official CRM Issue? I don't see an issue number, and a search of the
issues page for 'E60' yields only Issue 197, which was resolved two years ago.
Nor can I find any mention of this issue in the recently-published minutes from
the last SIG meeting.
I ask because I'm struggling to understand the context in which the question
has been raised, and your most recent answer.
Best wishes,
Richard

Martin,
I'm not sure I particularly like the phrase 'identifiers in continua' - but
maybe I just don't understand its intended meaning. To me, a date is just a
data value, expressed to a certain degree of precision. An 'identifier'
suggests something which is deliberately assigned as a property of an entity,
in order to ... identify it.
A date is a numerical distance from a starting point, e.g. a zero redefined
every time the precision increases. A geocoordinate refers to Greenwich, etc.
Therefore they are NOT values, but absolute points in space time. Not
quantities.
In any case, if we are defining and giving examples of these identifiers,
shouldn't we be
Yes E41 need rewriting. I work on it. All examples from deprecated classes need
to be transferred.
Thank you!
Martin
Whatever these identifiers are, they won't be E50 or E47, both of which are
flagged as deprecated (and now to be treated as E41 Appellation).

Dear All, we need to provide other definitions of identifiers in continua.
E60 Number
Subclass of: E59 Primitive Value
Scope Note: This class comprises any encoding of computable (algebraic)
values such as integers, real numbers, complex numbers, vectors, tensors etc.,
including intervals of these values to express limited precision.
Numbers are fundamentally distinct from identifiers in continua, such as
instances of E50 Date and E47 Spatial Coordinate, even though their encoding
may be similar. Instances of E60 Number can be combined with each other in
algebraic operations to yield other instances of E60 Number, e.g., 1+1=2.
Identifiers in continua may be combined with numbers expressing distances to
yield new identifiers, e.g., 1924-01-31 + 2 days = 1924-02-02. Cf. E54 Dimension
Examples:
§ 5
§ 3+2i
§ 1.5e-04
§ (0.5, - 0.7,88)
In First Order Logic:
E60(x) ⊃ E59(x)
