Dear All,
I revise the intent, following Robert's concerns that it may be
interpreted as a restriction rather than as an illustration of typical use:
*NEW*
Scope note: This class comprises symbols, signs, signatures or
short texts applied to instances of E24 Physical Human-Made Thing by
arbitrary techniques, *often* in order to indicate such things as
creator, owner, dedications, purpose or to communicate information
generally. Instances of E37 Mark do not represent the actual image of a
mark, but the abstract ideal, as they use to be codified in reference
documents that are used in cultural documentation.
This class specifically excludes features that have no semantic
significance, such as scratches or tool marks. These should be
documented as instances of E25 Human-Made Feature.
Best,
Martin

Dear All,
There were questions about the level of abstraction of E37 Mark.
Therefore I rewrite, following the relevant discussions when this
class was defined. The argument was that it should directly link to
the codes that are used in museum documentation for (registered) marks.

Can someone provide a relevant example from an authority document of
marks?
Such as
Castagno, John. /Old Masters: Signatures and Monograms, 1400–Born
1800/. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 1996.
Caplan, H. H. and Bob Creps. /Encyclopedia of Artists' Signatures,
Symbols & Monograms: Old Masters to Modern, North American & European
plus More; 25,000 Examples/. Land O'Lakes, FL: Dealer's Choice Books,
1999.
