Dear all,

Do you agree with substituting the current phrasing concerning transitivity and 
symmetry in CIDOC CRM v7.3 for the one proposed by Martin, Wolfgang, and 
Christian-Emil?

Namely:
the bullet point under Naming Conventions that now reads:

  *   "Properties that have identical domain and range are either symmetric or 
transitive. Instantiating a symmetric property implies that the same relation 
holds for both the domain-to-range and the range-to-domain directions. An 
example of this is E53 Place. P122 borders with: E53 Place. The names of 
symmetric properties have no parenthetical form, because reading in the 
range-to-domain direction is the same as the domain-to-range reading. 
Transitive asymmetric properties, such as E9 Period.P9 consists of (forms part 
of): E4 Period, have a parenthetical form that relates to the meaning of the 
inverse direction."

would become:

  *   "The names of symmetric properties have no parenthetical form, because 
reading in the range-to-domain direction is the same as the domain-to-range 
reading. An example of this is E53 Place. P122 borders with: E53 Place. See the 
definition of "symmetric" in the section "Terminology"."

The motivation is that the wording found under Naming Conventions in V7.3 is 
inaccurate, and the reason to delete the reference to transitive, asymmetric 
properties, seeing as the information is repeated in the Terminology section 
--see definitions therein.

Please reply by yes, no, or N/A by March 22.

All the best,
Eleni

I think this version is clear and gets to the point.

Best,
Wolfgang
