I have a question about conceptual modeling in CIDOC CRM, maybe there is someone one the list who is able to provide some guidance.

As posted before, we are trying to integrate research data of neolithic sites into Arches. Now, naturally a significant part of this data has a level of "certainty" to which the information is correct. e.g. a site can consist of some features for certain (in this case modeled in the Archaeological Heritage (Site).E27 - Component.E18 relationship) but if others exist is uncertain. We believe this valuable information should not get lost (quite often theory construction is based on such information).

For example it could be uncertain if an archaeological feature is to be named "pit" or "ditch" - or if it exists at all. Another example could be the questionable relationship of a findspot to a certain archaeological period. To make it even more difficult, different authors could have different thoughts on that.

As far as we can see, the expression of such "uncertainty" is not covered by Arches yet. Is there a concept for the integration of such data in the future? We are currently thinking into potential solutions but are struggeling to find adequate expressions for uncertain information in CIDOC.

thanks, Thomas
