Dear All,
With the deletion of many subclasses of E41 Appellation here my
suggestion for adjustment:
*NEW:*
E41 Appellation
Subclass of:E90 <#_E90_Symbolic_Object> Symbolic Object
Superclass of: E35 <#_E35_Title> Title
E42 <#_E42_Object_Identifier>Identifier
Scope note:This class comprises signs, either meaningful or not, or
arrangements of signs following a specific syntax, that are used or can
be used to refer to and identify a specific instance of some class or
category within a certain context.
Instances of E41 Appellation do not identify things by their meaning,
even if they happen to have one, but instead by convention, tradition,
or agreement. Instances of E41 Appellation are cultural constructs; as
such, they have a context, a history, and a use in time and space by
some group of users. A given instance of E41 Appellation can have
alternative forms, i.e., other instances of E41 Appellation that are
always regarded as equivalent independent from the thing it denotes.
Even though instances of E41 Appellation are not words of a language,
different language groups may use different appellations for the same
thing, such as the names of major cities. Some appellations may be
formulated using a valid noun phrase of a particular language. In these
cases, the respective instances of E41 Appellation should also be
declared as instances of E33 Linguistic Object/. /Then the language
group using the appellation can be declared with the property /P72 has
language: E56 Language/.
Instances of E41 Appellation may be used to identify any instance of E1
CRM Entity and sometimes are characteristic for instances of more
specific subclasses E1 CRM Entity, such as for instances of E52
Time-Span (for instance “dates”), E39 Actor, E53 Place or E28 Conceptual
Object. Postal addresses and E-mail addresses are characteristic
examples of identifiers used by services transporting things between
clients.
Even numerically expressed identifiers in continua are also regarded as
instances of E41 Appellation, such as Gregorian dates or spatial
coordinates, even though they allow for determining the time or spot or
are they identify by a known procedure starting from a reference point
and by virtue of that play a double role as instances of E59 Primitive
Value.
E41 Appellation should not be confused with the act of naming something.
