I think this would be a useful discussion and class. It has also been
proposed within the PARCOURS model although perhaps a tighter proposal
can be made.

P.S. The example for P103 could do with updating...

Hi George,
I think this is a good idea, of course, we should first look at a more
specific property, since "instruments" can be very heterogeneous, or we
concentrate on measurement devices in a narrower sense.

Dear all,
I am working on a conservation science modelling project in which the
users document also their machinery. Something that comes up is that
they want to document the kind of property or variable that is
measured by the machine. This is a property of the machine, what it
can do (dunamis).
We of course already have p103 was intended for
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/Property/P103-was-intended-for/version-7.1.1
<http://www.cidoc-crm.org/Property/P103-was-intended-for/version-7.1.1>
I already make use of this for the purpose of documenting the general
kind of method the machine can be used for.
But when you run the machine, it tests for certain variables and
produces a resulting output which is a digital record of a signal
carrying that variable.
This reminds me of some elements from CRMSci and from CRMdig
CRMSci has observations that look for property types:
S4 Observation
O9 observed property type E55
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crmsci/sites/default/files/CRMsci%20v.1.3.pdf
<http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crmsci/sites/default/files/CRMsci%20v.1.3.pdf>
We also have in CRMdig both a class for instruments (digital ones)
D8 Digital Device
and we again have a notion of an observation kind of event measuing a
kind of thing
D11 Digital Measurement Event
L17 measured thing of type E55
http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crmdig/sites/default/files/CRMdig_v3.2.1.pdf
<http://www.cidoc-crm.org/crmdig/sites/default/files/CRMdig_v3.2.1.pdf>
So, anyhow, putting that all together, I note:
people document their scientific machines and what they do
some of the properties pertain to the machine (it may measure only
these things)
there are several references to such a property already in crmsci and
dig but placed on the event.
So I wonder, for discussion, is there an interest in an instrument
class (possibly beginning a bridge between sci and dig) which would
not just be a leaf node but have its own substantial properties. I
suggest a first one might be something like 'measures
property/variable of type'.
This is not yet a proposal for such a thing, just an invitation to
discussion for those who are interested on the potential utility of
such an addition.
Best,
George
