c) I have problems with using O28 generally for E55 Type.

Please think of:

Exx Sortable Type

Tentative Scope Note: "This class comprises concepts, instances of E55 Type, that allow for comparing summarily all particulars they classify to those classified by some other instances of Exx Sortable Type by some form of partial or complete order relation, such as "hills" versus "mountains".

I agree that a subclass of E55 is a safer option. We could do a new issue to introduce this in CRMsci for version 2.0. I do not think it is a controversial proposal in any way.

I think an arbitrary order criterion will be ambiguous. Only a question of phantasy to find them. For instance, compare bird species by medium size, medium flight speed, medium food consumption, intensity of crying.....

The color  IHS space has 3 dimensions.

Where is the order criterion defined???

So, a proposed example is:

In the condition survey of the manuscripts of the library of the Saint Catherine Monastery, the option ‘supple’ (E55) is conceptually greater than the option ‘stiff’ (E55). [These options are used for assessing parchment on page 2, section 2 of the survey form] https://www.ligatus.org.uk/sites/default/files/form20050110.pdf

There is no reason why "supple" should be before or after "stiff". Is this what you are questioning, Martin? If in one dataset they are ordered one way and in another they are ordered a different way, any cross dataset query would require checking that the orders are in the same direction, which is not ideal. Ideally the thesauri where these types come from should also specify their order.

All the best,

Thanasis


Best,

Martin

Is this relevant:

https://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-407-ordinal-property-for-e55-type

It is a draft property in CRMsci:

"O28 is conceptually greater than (is conceptually less than)"

All the best,

To add: Thinking of it again, the Measurement and Dimension classes cannot be used for cases as the example I provided in my previous email (since 'E54 Dimension' comprises quantifiable properties that can be measured by some calibrated means and can be approximated by values). Nevertheless, there are cases where the intensity of the earthquake is given as a number in the original source, e.g. "8", "7-9" or "probably 8".

    Dear all,

    First, apologies if my question has already been discussed in a
    previous SIG meeting/issue.

    I was wondering if CIDOC CRM currently allows representing a
    measurement (instance of E16 Measurement), not by providing a value
    and unit (through an instance of E54 Dimension), but by comparing it
    with an instance of another dimension/measurement.
    Use case: modeling information about historical earthquakes.
    There are (historical) documents that provide information about
    old/ancient earthquakes and this information is expressed at various
    levels of detail and precision. For example, there is the below case:     - Earthquake instance 1: November 26, 1861 (00:40-02:40). Very strong.
    - Earthquake instance 2: November 27, 1861 (04:00-07:00). _Stronger
    than that of Nov 6_ (i.e. stronger than earthquake instance 1)
    If we ask for "very strong" earthquakes, the ideal system should
    also return instance 2.

    So, the question is how we can model the information 'stronger than'
    between two instances of  E54 Dimension (or E60 Number?), since this
    is how it appears in the original source.

    Is there a straightforward way that I do not see?

    Could this be done through E13 Attribute Assignment (if yes, how?)

    Thank you!

    Best regards,
    Pavlos
