Dear Robert, All,

To my  best knowledge, Title, Site and Inscription had been on the list of classes potentially to be deleted, when the current principles for minimality had been formulated. The respective decision not to delete is documented in some minutes. It was extensively discussed and voted. Following our rules, this decision can only be undone in a new issue, if new, different evidence is provided. This rule is to ensure some continuity for a standard, and economy of work. Currently, I see no new evidence.

Best,

Martin

I propose that E35 Title also does not legitimately rise to the requirements of being a named class in CRM Base.

In particular:

* It does not have its own properties
* While it is the range of P102, P102 is indistinguishable semantically from its super-property, P1. Read the scope notes and replace "title" with "name" and it comes out the same.  If that is *not* the case, then we would need a property that relates E1 and E33_E41_Linguistic_Appellation, at which point we would need to give a number of E33_E41. * It can be replaced without semantic loss by E33_E41_Linguistic_Appellation, perhaps further clarified by the addition of domain specific vocabulary (supplied title vs artist's title) using P2_has_type
* It does not have any sub-classes.

And so, it can safely be deleted.

Rob
