Hi all, I have a large number (thousands) of monograms that appear on Greek coinage. There is an SVG file that represents an idealized form of the monogram. The Nomisma ontology has a nmo:Monogram class, and I am attempting to link Nomisma more directly as subclasses or subproperties to CIDOC-CRM ones. A monogram fits the definition of a subclass of crm:E37_Mark:
"This class comprises symbols, signs, signatures or short texts applied to instances of E24 Physical Man-Made Thing by arbitrary techniques in order to indicate the creator, owner, dedications, purpose, etc." In this sense, if I want to link a monogram to its constituent letters, is P106_is_composed_of the appropriate property for this? For example, I have a URI for a monogram, http://numismatics.org/ocre/symbol/monogram.ric.10.theodosius_ii.3 Therefore: <http://numismatics.org/ocre/symbol/monogram.ric.10.theodosius_ii.3> a nmo:Monogram ; crm:P106_is_composed_of "T" ; crm:P106_is_composed_of "H" . etc. The next question I have is how do I link this concept of a monogram to one or more SVG files that represent this monogram? There could be variant images based on individual styles of die-carvers, but scholars agree these variations represent the same semantic concept. I am looking at the documentation for P138 represents, and I am having a difficult time understanding the distinction between the examples where a digital file (PLY 3D model or a JPEG image) is the E36 Visual Item, but in other documentation the E36 Visual Item seems more conceptual. If a Visual Item is definitionally an E1 CRM Entity, then a Visual Item can still represent another Visual Item, correct? So: <http://numismatics.org/ocre/symbol/monogram.ric.10.theodosius_ii.3> a nmo:Monogram ; crm:P106_is_composed_of "T" ; crm:P106_is_composed_of "H" ; crm:P138i_has_representation < http://numismatics.org/ocre/symbols/monogram.ric.10.theodosius_ii.3> #svg file url Thanks, Ethan
