Der Christian-Emil, all,
I agree in all you say below.
I'd like to mention that we have the issue about position measurements,
and data evaluation as inference making in CRMinf. I'd suggest to see
these things together for a wider theory.
Best,
Martin

Dear Francesco,
You did not violate any rule. My point was simply that the reduction has
already been accepted. The question was about an adjustment of the scope notes
so that they were in harmony with the reduced range.
I had some concern about the reduction but ended with the conclusion that it is
only physical matter that can be measured in the way the CRM measurement is
defined.
We also had a discussion in the chat in the meeting about measuring phenomena
in a text, the example was the frequency of the definite article 'the' in a
work of Shakespeare. I will claim that the frequency is measured by counting
the number of the occurrences of the three letter sequence with white space or
delimiters on each side in a given manuscript or printed text. One may also
count the number of 'the' when listening to a oral performance of a work,
still it is a measurement of a physical thing, the sound. From such measurement
on may deduce and attach properties to the abstract object. The question is if
one can directly measure dimensions of non-physical things like temporal
entities and abstracts - may be. May be such measurement will be instances of
a class of human subjective decisions and thus instances of attribute
assignment?
Best,
Christian-Emil

Dear Martin, Christian-Emil, all,
In order not to block a development that seems to be largely consensual, and
considering that my veto apparently violates the SIG rules, I withdraw it and
simply vote NO.
If the majority thinks that the problem I have pointed to is not a problem and
that the inconsistency between previous versions of the CRM and the new one in
relation to the substance of this class is not an issue, especially with
respect to monotonicity, I personnally have nothing to add.
With all my best wishes
Francesco

Dear Francesco,
Your concerns well respected, please let me explain a few things:
Firstly, this e-vote is not about the reduction of the range of P39 from E1 CRM
Entity to E18 Physical Thing.
The reduction was decided in the last CRM-SIG with good majority after
considering all pros and cons.
Following our rules, a decision once made by the CRM-SIG can only be undone by
raising a new issue, providing new additional arguments.
Therefore, the use of the VETO right should not be used to undo an orderly
decision taken by the SIG.
Nevertheless, let me

Dear all,
as already stated in the SIG meeting, I'm concerned with monotonicity, and more largely
with substantially changing the substance of a class without changing its identifier: E16
remains E16 but "measuring the nominal monetary value of a collection of coins"
is now excluded.
Firstly,
So what about all project's using E16 for that ? Not to mention the surface of
Places as geometries and so many projects using E53 Place for representing a
geographical place ? The surface of a place cannot be measured ?
Issue 511 starts from a useful consistency check : "E54 Dimensions are
associated directly with E70 Things using P43 has dimension. So not every class can
have dimensions, only those that are descendents of E70.
However E16 Measurement's property P39 measured has a range of E1 CRM Entity,
meaning that while (for example) an E53 Place cannot have a dimension, it can
be measured to have a dimension. This seems inconsistent that an entity that
cannot have dimensions can still be measured.
I propose that the range of P39 measured be changed to E70 Thing to resolve this
inconsistency."
Because of this argument : "My argument about measuring non-physical things is that
it does not constitute an observation process, but an abstraction from observable things.
We can always use Attribute Assignment for such evaluations. So, we can assign the word
count to a text, without using E16 Measurement."
after a quite short discussion (in proportion to the relevance of the issue) we
vote about the restriction of this same class to a quite different substance
than the long period one.
Excluding, e.g. the monetary value of an entity, which is purely abstract.
My argument was rebutted in the SIG saying the replacement is Attribute
Assignment and algorithms can do the job in the data. I partly agree but it
seems to me that, given the radical change of substance, the consistency of the
information produced before version 7.??? will be lost.
So why then not create a new class, with a new ID and a new substance,
restricted in the mentioned sense, and deprecate E16 if wished but leaving it
as is for the sake of consistency of legacy information and monotonicity ?
Given these arguments, I vote:
VETO.
All the best
Francesco
