Dear George, I share your concerns. Being unfamiliar with CRMsci in general and O19 in particular, when I first read your mesage I immediately assumed that the inverse property pointed to a place. As a non-native English speaker, I agree that there is a very strong locative flavour to the preposition "at", and it would be totally counter-intuitive to associate it with an event. I also feel the same applies (though less strongly) to "in". If we want to exclude any kind of locative flavour, would the preposition "during" be appropriate, or would it only work for some events but not all?

Envoyé par : "Crm-sig" <crm-sig-boun...@ics.forth.gr> Dear all, I am manually correcting some ontology files (horror) and changing the nomenclature from the previous names for O19 which were: has found object (was object found by) up until version 1.2.6 of the document. Then it changed, rightly (mostly), to: encountered object was object encountered at which is how it has been ever since. So, what's my problem? The inverse property label sounds like we named it poorly? Particularly the preposition 'at' has a locative flavour that to me would indicate that the object pointed at would be a place. The object pointed at, however, is of course the encounter event. I do not remember if we made the choice above on purpose or if this is just a mistake, but reading it now it strikes me as not the best choice. I think typically we would use 'by' (which is also problematic since sounds like it should point to an actor) or maybe 'in' which again sounds slightly locative, although might work better with an event. Anyhow, does anyone else see this as a problem or is it just me?
