Subject: [Crm-sig] E-Vote: Change of Scope Note E10 Transfer of Custody (Issue 
475)

Dear all,

In the last CRM SIG (47) we discussed issue 
475<http://www.cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-475-transfer-of-custody> which has to do 
with a change to the scope note of E10 Transfer of Custody. R. Sanderson noted 
that the scope note seemed to contain a contradiction since the first line 
indicated that the transfer of custody was of 'physical possession' while the 
second paragraph indicated that it could be of physical possession OR only of 
legal custody.

R. Sanderson proposed to update the scope note in order to consistently express 
that the base line case is that BOTH physical and legal custody are transferred 
and in the case that it is only one or the other this would be expressed using 
the p2 has type property.

This proposal was generally accepted and the work of creating the precise 
wording was left as homework. This HW has been provided by R Sanderson and is 
in a good state for voting on.

Please find below the text of the old and the new scope note. After having read 
them, please vote by replying to this email whether to accept this change.

You may vote Yes, Yes with a caveat or No, indicating the reason for rejecting 
the proposal.

Please indicate your vote by October 16th.

OLD scope note

E10 Transfer of Custody

Subclass of: E7 Activity

Scope note: This class comprises transfers of physical custody of objects 
between instances of E39 Actor. The recording of the donor and/or recipient is 
optional. It is possible that in an instance of E10 Transfer of Custody there 
is either no donor or no recipient. Depending on the circumstances it may 
describe:

1. the beginning of custody

2. the end of custody

3. the transfer of custody

4. the receipt of custody from an unknown source

5. the declared loss of an object

The distinction between the legal responsibility for custody and the actual 
physical possession of the object should be expressed using the property P2 has 
type (is type of). A specific case of transfer of custody is theft. The sense 
of physical possession requires that the object of custody is in the hands of 
the keeper at least with a part representative for the whole. The way, in which 
a representative part is defined, should ensure that it is unambiguous who 
keeps a part and who the whole and should be consistent with the identity 
criteria of the kept instance of E18 Physical Thing. For instance, in the case 
of a set of cutlery we may require the majority of pieces having been in the 
hands of the actor regardless which individual pieces are kept over time.

The interpretation of the museum notion of "accession" differs between 
institutions. The CIDOC CRM therefore models legal ownership and physical 
custody separately. Institutions will then model their specific notions of 
accession and deaccession as combinations of these.

Examples:

  *   the delivery of the paintings by Secure Deliveries Inc. to the National 
Gallery the return of Picasso’s “Guernica” to Madrid’s Prado in 1981 (Chipp, 
1988)

In First Order Logic:

E10(x) ⊃ E7(x)

Properties:

P28 custody surrendered by (surrendered custody through): E39 Actor

P29 custody received by (received custody through): E39 Actor

P30 transferred custody of (custody transferred through): E18 Physical Thing

NEW scope note

E10 Transfer of Custody

Subclass of: E7 Activity

Scope note: This class comprises transfers of the physical custody, or the 
legal responsibility for the physical custody, of objects. The recording of the 
donor or recipient is optional. It is possible that in an instance of E10 
Transfer of Custody there is either no donor or no recipient. Depending on the 
circumstances it may describe:

1. the beginning of custody (there is no previous custodian)

2. the end of custody (there is no subsequent custodian)

3. the transfer of custody (transfer from one custodian to the next)

4. the receipt of custody from an unknown source (the previous custodian is 
unknown)

5. the declared loss of an object (the current or subsequent custodian is 
unknown)

In the event that only a single kind of transfer of custody, either the legal 
responsibility for the custody or the actual physical possession of the object 
but not both, this difference should be expressed using the property P2 has 
type (is type of).  A specific case of transfer of custody is theft. The sense 
of physical possession requires that the object of custody is in the hands of 
the keeper at least with a part representative for the whole. The way, in which 
a representative part is defined, should ensure that it is unambiguous who 
keeps a part and who the whole and should be consistent with the identity 
criteria of the kept instance of E18 Physical Thing. For instance, in the case 
of a set of cutlery we may require the majority of pieces having been in the 
hands of the actor regardless which individual pieces are kept over time.
