​Dear all

Here is the homework of ISSUE .

Best,

Christian-Emil



The number of shortcuts has changed due to  deprecation of properties and a few 
new. The eventual change of E4 isa E92 to a property etc, will result in 4 new 
shortcuts marked as red text below. One existing shortcut has to be redefined, 
marked in read as well.


In the long discussion of formalizing shortcuts in FOL, the two terms  strong 
shortcut and weak shortcut were introduce. A shortcut is weak when the 
existence of a long path implies an instance of the shortcut. In a graph the 
instantiation of  the long path should automatically introduce a triple for the 
shortcut. It should be noted that there can be more than one instantiation of a 
long path.


A strong shortcut is a weak shortcut where the instantiation of the shortcut 
implies the existence of a long path.  As long as the long path need not to be 
unique, I think this is ok in FOL. However, this may contradict the open world 
view ad also the timelessness of some properties like P1, P2. To make things 
simple I have defined all shortcuts as weak shortcuts. That is, the long path 
implies the short.


I have removed the “declaration” of class for intermediate nodes in the path 
where these are implied from the propertydefintion:


P105(x,y) ⊂ [E30(z) ˄ P104(x,z) ˄ P75(y,z)] becomes P105(x,y) ⊂ [P104(x,z) ˄ 
P75(y,z)]

since P104(x,z) ⊃ E30(z) and also P75(y,z) ⊃ E30(z).


The CRMbase document has no FOL description of the shortcuts. In 2015 when we 
started this work the intension was to add a line to those properties that are 
shortcuts, e.g.


In First Order Logic:

                               P105(x,y) ⊃ E72(x)

                               P105(x,y) ⊃ E39(y)

Shortcut:             P105(x,y) ⊂ [ P104(x,z) ˄ P75(y,z)]



To add this is pure editorial work, the sig should just decide yes or no.








1.       P1 is identified by (identifies), is a shortcut for the path from ‘E1 
CRM Entity’ through ‘P140i was attributed by’, ‘E15 Identifier Assignment’, 
‘P37 assigned’,‘E42 Identifier’, ‘P139 has alternative form’ to ‘E41 
Appellation’.

P1(x,y) ⊂ [P140(z.x) ˄ P141(z,y)]



2.       P2: Type assignment events allow a more detailed path from ‘E1 CRM 
Entity’ through ‘P41i was classified by’, ‘E17 Type Assignment’, ‘P42 
assigned’, to ‘E55 Type’ for assigning types to objects compared to the 
shortcut offered by P2 has type (is type of).

P2(x,y) ⊂ )[ P41(z.x) ˄ P42(z,y)]



3.       [P7 took place at (witnessed)] It is a shortcut of the more fully 
developed path from E4 Period through P161 has spatial projection, E53 Place, 
P89 falls within  to E53 Place. E4 Period is a subclass of E92 Spacetime 
Volume. By the definition of P161 has spatial projection an instance of E4 
Period takes place on all its spatial projections, that is, instances of E53 
Place. Something happening at a given place can also be considered to happen at 
a larger place containing the first. For example, the assault on the Bastille 
July 14th 1789 took place in the area covered by Paris in 1789 but also in the 
area covered by France in 1789.

P7(x,y) ⊂ [E4(x)  ˄ P161(x,z) ˄ P89(z,y)]

developed path from ‘E4 Period’ through ‘P7 took place at’, ‘E53 Place’, ‘P156i

5.       [P9 consists of (forms part of)] This property associates an instance 
of E4 Period with another instance of E4 Period that is defined by a subset of 
the phenomena that define the former. Therefore the spacetime volume of the 
latter must fall within the spacetime volume of the former.P9 consists of 
(forms part of) shortcut of long path via E92 STV

P9(x,y) ⊂ [Pyyy(x,z) ˄  P132(z,w) ˄ Pyyy(y,w) ]



6.       P43: It is a shortcut of the more fully developed path from ‘E70 
Thing’ through ‘P39 measured’, ‘E16 Measurement’, ‘P40 observed dimension’, to 
‘E54 Dimension’. It offers no information about how and when an E54 Dimension 
was established, nor by whom.

7.       P44: It is a shortcut of the more fully developed path from ‘E18 
Physical Thing’ through ‘P34 concerned’, ‘E14 Condition Assessment’, ‘P35 has 
identified’, to ‘E3 Condition State’. It offers no information about how and 
when the E3 Condition State was established, nor by whom.

P44(x,y) ⊂ [P34(z,x) ˄ P35(z,y)]



8.       P46 is composed of (forms part of) shortcut via E92 Spacetime Volume

9.       P49 has former or current keeper (is former or current keeper of) is a 
shortcut for the more detailed path from ‘E18 Physical Thing’ through ‘P30 
transferred custody of’, ‘E10 Transfer of Custody’, ‘P28 custody surrendered 
by’ or ‘P29 custody received by’ to ‘ E39 Actor’.

P49(x,y) ⊂ [P30(z,x) ˄ [P28(z,y) ˅ P29(z,y) ]]



10.   P50 has current keeper (is current keeper of) is a shortcut for the more 
detailed path from ‘E18 Physical Thing’ through, ‘P30i custody transferred  
through’, ‘E10 Transfer of Custody’, ‘P29 custody received by’ ,to ‘E39 Actor’.

only if this acquisition event is the most recent.

P52(x,y) ⊂ [P24(z,x) ˄ P22(z,y) ]



13.   P53 has former or current location (is former or current location of) is

Move’, ‘P26 moved to’ or ‘P27 moved from’, to ‘ E53 Place’.

path E72 Legal Object,P104 is subject to, E30 Right, P75i is possessed by, E39
