Subject: [Crm-sig] 511 e-vote


Dear all,

At the last session of the last CRM SIG meeting we discussed issue 511 and 
voted to accept the reduction of the range of property P39 measured from E1 CRM 
Entity to E18 Physical Thing. Homework was assigned to check how scope notes 
and related properties are affected, recommend changes and call an e-vote for 
those. I am listing the required changes below. With regards to those changes, 
the possible votes are:

  *   Yes = accept/agree
  *   No = do not accept/agree
  *   Other = With other you can either introduce a caveat (e.g.: 'Yes, but 
there is a typo on word x, fix it.') or you can write VETO, if you wish to stop 
the proposed change from happening, in which case you should also write a 
justification and reformulate the issue (e.g.: 'VETO, this change is 
unacceptable because it violates the following principle...')



1. E16 Measurement



Changed to clarify that E16 Measurement requires observation, including an 
update to an example and the removal of two examples.

From:

Subclass of:

E13 Attribute Assignment

Scope note:

This class comprises actions measuring quantitative physical properties and 
other values that can be determined by a systematic, objective procedure of 
direct observation of particular states of physical reality. Properties of 
instances of E90 Symbolic Object may be measured by observing some of their 
representative carriers which may or may not be named explicitly. In the case 
that the carrier can be named, the property P16 used specific object (was used 
for): should be used to indicate the instance(s) of E18 Physical Thing that was 
used as the empirical basis for the measurement activity.

Examples include measuring the nominal monetary value of a collection of coins 
or the running time of a movie on a specific video cassette.

The E16 Measurement may use simple counting or tools, such as yardsticks or 
radiation detection devices. The interest is in the method and care applied, so 
that the reliability of the result may be judged at a later stage, or research 
continued on the associated documents. The date of the event is important for 
dimensions, which may change value over time, such as the length of an object 
subject to shrinkage. Methods and devices employed should be associated with 
instances of E16 Measurement by properties such as P33 used specific technique: 
E29 Design or Procedure, P125 used object of type: E55 Type, P16 used specific 
object (was used for): E70 Thing, whereas basic techniques such as "carbon 14 
dating" should be encoded using P2 has type (is type of): E55 Type. Details of 
methods and devices reused or reusable in other instances of E16 Measurement 
should be documented for these entities rather than the measurements 
themselves, whereas details of particular execution may be documented by free 
text or by instantiating adequate sub-activities, if the detail may be of 
interest for an overarching query.

Regardless whether a measurement is made by an instrument or by human senses, 
it represents the initial transition from physical reality to information 
without any other documented information object in between within the reasoning 
chain that would represent the result of the interaction of the observer or 
device with reality. Therefore, inferring properties of depicted items using 
image material, such as satellite images, is not regarded as an instance of E16 
Measurement, but as a subsequent instance of E13 Attribute Assignment. Rather, 
only the production of the images, understood as arrays of radiation 
intensities, is regarded as an instance of E16 Measurement. The same reasoning 
holds for other sensor data.

Examples:

  *   measurement of height of silver cup 232 on the 31st August 1997 
(fictitious)
  *   the carbon 14 dating of the “Schoeninger Speer II” in 1996 [an about 
400.000 year old complete Old Palaeolithic wooden spear found in Schoeningen, 
Niedersachsen, Germany in 1995] (Kouwenhoven, 1997)
  *   The pixel size of the jpeg version of Titian’s painting Bacchus and 
Ariadne from 1520–3, as freely downloadable from the National Gallery in 
London’s web page 
<https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-bacchus-and-ariadne><https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-bacchus-and-ariadne>
 is 581600 pixels.

Reference Model Version 5.0.4 as downloaded from

In First Order Logic:

E16(x) ⇒ E13(x)

Properties:

P39 measured (was measured by): E18 Physical Thing

P40 observed dimension (was observed in): E54 Dimension



2. P39 measured (was measured by)



Changed to reduce the range to E18, update the scope note and the second 
example.


From:


Domain:

E16 Measurement

Range:

E1 CRM Entity

Subproperty of:

E13 Attribute Assignment. P140 assigned attribute to (was attributed by): E1 
CRM Entity

Quantification:

many to one, necessary (1,1:0,n)

Scope note:

This property associates an instance of E16 Measurement with the instance of E1 
CRM Entity to which it applied. An instance of E1 CRM Entity may be measured 
more than once. Material and immaterial things and processes may be measured, 
e.g., the number of words in a text, or the duration of an event.

Examples:

  *   31 August 1997 measurement of height of silver cup 232 (E16) measured 
silver cup 232 (E22) (fictitious)

In First Order Logic:

P39(x,y) ⇒ E16(x)

P39(x,y) ⇒ E1(y)

P39(x,y) ⇒ P140(x,y)


To:


Domain:

E16 Measurement

Range:

E18 Physical Thing

Subproperty of:

E13 Attribute Assignment. P140 assigned attribute to (was attributed by): E1 
CRM Entity

Quantification:

many to one, necessary (1,1:0,n)

Scope note:

This property associates an instance of E16 Measurement with the instance of 
E18 Physical Thing upon which it acted. The instance of E16 Measurement is 
specific to the measured object. An instance of E18 Physical Thing may be 
measured more than once with different results, constituting different 
instances of E16 Measurement.

Examples:

  *   31 August 1997 measurement of height of silver cup 232 (E16) measured 
silver cup 232 (E22) (fictitious)
  *   the carbon 14 dating of the “Schoeninger Speer II” in 1996 (E16) measured 
the “Schoeninger Speer II” (E22) [The carbon 14 dating of an approximately 
400.000 year old complete Old Palaeolithic wooden spear found in Schoeningen, 
Niedersachsen, Germany in 1995. See also E16 Measurement] (Kouwenhoven, 1997)


In First Order Logic:

P39(x,y) ⇒ E16(x)

P39(x,y) ⇒ E18(y)

P39(x,y) ⇒ P140(x,y)



3. P140 assigned attribute to (was attributed by)



Only updated the reference P39 measured as a sub-property of P140.

From:


Superproperty of:

E14 Condition Assessment. P34 concerned (was assessed by): E18 Physical Thing

E16 Measurement. P39 measured (was measured by): E1 CRM Entity

E17 Type Assignment. P41 classified (was classified by): E1 CRM Entity


To:


Superproperty of:

E14 Condition Assessment. P34 concerned (was assessed by): E18 Physical Thing

E16 Measurement. P39 measured (was measured by): E18 Physical Thing

E17 Type Assignment. P41 classified (was classified by): E1 CRM Entity



4. P40 observed dimension (was observed in)

Added a second example:

  *   the carbon 14 dating of the “Schoeninger Speer II” in 1996 (E16) observed 
dimension the carbon 14 based temporal distance from 1996 to the growth of the 
wood of the “Schoeninger Speer II” [The carbon 14 dating of an approximately 
400.000 year old complete Old Palaeolithic wooden spear found in Schoeningen, 
Niedersachsen, Germany in 1995. See also E16 Measurement] (Kouwenhoven, 1997)

5. P43 has dimension (is dimension of)


Modified scope note to indicate that the long path through P39i was measured by 
applies to E18 Physical Thing and not E70 Thing (note that this change does not 
affect the domain of P43).



From:


Domain:

E70 Thing

Range:

E54 Dimension

Quantification:

one to many, dependent (0,n:1,1)

Scope note:

This property records a E54 Dimension of some E70 Thing.

This property is a shortcut of the more fully developed path from E70 Thing 
through P39i was measured by, E16 Measurement, P40 observed dimension, to E54 
Dimension. It offers no information about how and when an E54 Dimension was 
established, nor by whom.

An instance of E54 Dimension is specific to an instance of E70 Thing.

Examples:

  *   silver cup 232 (E22) has dimension height of silver cup 232 (E54) has 
unit (P91) mm (E58), has value (P90) 224 (E60) (fictitious)

In First Order Logic:

P43(x,y) ⇒ E70(x)

P43(x,y) ⇒ E54(y)

P43(x,y) ⇐ (∃z) [E16(z) ˄ P39i(x,z) ˄ P40(z,y)]


To:


Domain:

E70 Thing

Range:

E54 Dimension

Quantification:

one to many, dependent (0,n:1,1)

Scope note:

This property records a E54 Dimension of some E70 Thing.

It offers no information about how and when an instance of E54 Dimension was 
established, nor by whom. In the case that the recorded property is a result of 
a measurement of an instance of E18 Physical Thing, this property is a shortcut 
of the more fully developed path from E18 Physical Thing through P39i was 
measured by, E16 Measurement, P40 observed dimension, to E54 Dimension. It 
offers no information about how and when an E54 Dimension was established, nor 
by whom. Knowledge about an instance of E54 Dimension need not be result of a 
measurement; it may be the result of evaluating data or other information, 
which should be documented as an instance of E13 Attribute Assignment.

An instance of E54 Dimension is specific to an instance of E70 Thing.

Examples:

  *   silver cup 232 (E22) has dimension height of silver cup 232 (E54) has 
unit (P91) mm (E58), has value (P90) 224 (E60) (fictitious)

In First Order Logic:

P43(x,y) ⇒ E70(x)

P43(x,y) ⇒ E54(y)

P43(x,y) ⇐ (∃z) [E16(z) ˄ P39i(x,z) ˄ P40(z,y)]
