Dear all,

It turns out that we might also need to worry about P110. The HW for both is included here to discuss and vote at the next SIG:

1) Change the range of P112 diminished:

From:

E24 Physical Human-Made Thing

To:

E18 Physical Thing


And update the property scope note from:

“This property identifies the instance E24 Physical Human-Made Thing that was diminished by an instance of E80 Part Removal. Although an instance of E80 Part removal activity normally concerns only one instance of E24 Physical Human-Made Thing, it is possible to imagine circumstances under which more than one item might be diminished by a single instance of E80 Part Removal activity.”

to:

“This property identifies the instance E18 Physical Thing that was diminished by an instance of E80 Part Removal. Although an instance of E80 Part removal activity normally concerns only one instance of E18 Physical Thing, it is possible to imagine circumstances under which more than one item might be diminished by a single instance of E80 Part Removal activity.”


2) Update property under the scope note of E80 Part Remove

From:

P112 diminished (was diminished by): E24 Physical Human-Made Thing

To:

P112 diminished (was diminished by): E18 Physical Thing


3) Example for E80 diminishing a natural object

the removal of the Porite coral specimen from the Cocos Islands by Charles Darwin in April 1836


4) Example for P112 diminished

The coral of the Cocos Islands (E20) was diminished byThe removal of the Porite coral specimen by Charles Darwin (E80).

Extra HW for P110:


1) Change the range of P110 augmented:

From:

E24 Physical Human-Made Thing

To:

E18 Physical Thing


And update the property scope note from:

“This property identifies the instance of E24 Physical Human-Made Thing that is added to (augmented) in an instance of E79 Part Addition.

Although an instance of E79 Part Addition event normally concerns only one instance of E24 Physical Human-Made Thing, it is possible to imagine circumstances under which more than one item might be added to (augmented). For example, the artist Jackson Pollock trailing paint onto multiple canvasses.”

2) Update Class E79 Part Addition:

Reference to property P110:

From

P110 augmented (was augmented by): E24 Physical Human-Made Thing

To

P110 augmented (was augmented by): E18 Physical Thing


Scope note update:

From:

“This class comprises activities that result in an instance of E24 Physical Human-Made Thing being increased, enlarged or augmented by the addition of a part.”

To:

“This class comprises activities that result in an instance of E18 Physical Thing being increased, enlarged or augmented by the addition of a part.”


3) Example for E79 augmenting a natural object:

the carving of the Culpa Dendroglyph on the Culpa tree (Buhrich et al., 2015)


4) Example for P110:

The carving of the Culpa Dendroglyph (E79) augmentedthe Culpa tree (E20). (Buhrich et al., 2015)

Looking forward to comments and the discussion.

All the best,

In which case I suppose the proposal to discuss at the next SIG is:

1) change the range of P112 from E24 Physical Human-Made Thing to E18 Physical Thing
2) fix the reference to the property under the scope note of E80
3) add an example to E80 and a corresponding example to P112 for non-man-made things.

Could we assign a new issue number to this?

All the best,

Thanasis

Dear All,

Actually the class was also designed for cutting parts from archaeological objects, natural history stuff etc. We had a long discussion if, in the very instant, a part is broken from a natural object, e.g. for sampling, the diminished becomes "human made". We later ultimately decided that this violates identity criteria of classes. It just leaves a human-made feature on a natural object.

Therefore, we need to revise wherever this logic had been applied before.

Best,

Martin

Ahh, thank you, I understand now. Well, the scope notes of the various classes and properties should be improved to make that clear if it's the case. And then we would need to have the discussion about how to remove fragments from meteorites, so I hope that's _not_ the case :D

    I completely understand the reasoning and I agree that intuitively a     tree with a broken branch is a diminished thing. It is just that the
    scope note and all of the examples in E80 Part Removal are for
    Human-Made things so I worry that the class has been designed for
    Human-Made things only, i.e. breaking off the original branch may
    not be
    E80. Part Addition and Part Removal are designed to allow us to track
    the use of a component integrated intentionally in multiple
    objects over
    its history, so it may be that a thing needs to be added before it
    can
    be removed. If we care about the tree prior to cutting the branch
    then
    it may be only a modification. Am I taking it too far?

    Having said that, pushing the property higher in the hierarchy,
    although
    I am told we should avoid it in general, in this case it may not
    cause
    too many problems.

    T.

    P.S. Amazingly, the inconsistency between the scope note and property
    range existed since version 3.4.
