Examples I have a lot of!
How about … * The materials description (E33) of the painting (E22) _has symbolic content_ “Oil, French Watercolors on Paper, Graphite and Ink on Canvas, with an Oak frame.” * The title (E35) of Einstein’s 1915 text (E73) _has symbolic content_ “Relativity, the Special and the General Theory“ * The story of Little Red Riding Hood (E33) _has symbolic content_ “Once upon a time there lived in a certain village …” * The inscription (E34) on Rijksmuseum object SK-A-1601 (E22) _has symbolic content_ “B” Rob From: Crm-sig <crm-sig-boun...@ics.forth.gr> on behalf of Richard Light <rich...@light.demon.co.uk> Date: Monday, September 17, 2018 at 12:09 PM To: "crm-sig@ics.forth.gr" <crm-sig@ics.forth.gr> Subject: Re: [Crm-sig] NEW ISSUE: symbolic content Rob, Absolutely. So now we need to draft the text to describe this property, in suitably generalized terms, for the CRM, and then update our RDF documentation to say exactly how it is to be used in that context. Perhaps we should start with some examples? Richard On 17/09/2018 19:49, Robert Sanderson wrote: Thank you, Martin!

The "level of symbolic specificity" by which the String is interpreted should conform to the type of the Symbolic Object.

That would make the meaning of the "value" unambiguous. Again, I'm in complete agreement with this line of thought. One decision we should make is whether this property forms part of the generic CRM framework, or if it is to be an implementation-specific property which only appears in our RDF implementation of the CRM. My instinct is for it to go into the CRM proper: the treatment of Symbolic Object and its subclasses would I think be made clearer by the addition of this property. For CRM proper! OK: perhaps we should start a new issue to address this? -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Martin Doerr | Vox:+30(2810)391625 | Research Director | Fax:+30(2810)391638 | | Email: mar...@ics.forth.gr<mailto:mar...@ics.forth.gr> | | Center for Cultural Informatics | Information Systems Laboratory | Institute of Computer Science | Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) | | N.Plastira 100, Vassilika Vouton, | GR70013 Heraklion,Crete,Greece | | Web-site: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl | -------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Crm-sig mailing list Crm-sig@ics.forth.gr<mailto:Crm-sig@ics.forth.gr> http://lists.ics.forth.gr/mailman/listinfo/crm-sig -- Richard Light
