I think that *substance* is also a useful concept here.

I would postulate that for CRM purposes, ten €100 gold coins struck in the
3rd year of the reign of Emperor Millibus,  displayed by a museum on Great
Russell Brand St, then seized, melted down, struck in the form of  ten 100
Farange coins, then returned and displayed, would be considered to be the
same ten coins, even though they are constituted of the same gold.

Similarly, if half of the euro coins are swapped with indistinguishable
coins from the same issue, the collection before and after would not be
considered to be unchanged.

If one accepts this stance, then it follows that each coin is considered to
be an individual.  It is possible that one might consider the sets of coins
to also be individuals.

If the exchange rate is pegged at €1 = 1 Farange, the intrinsic and fiat
value all the sets of coins is the same.  In a CHO context this ought not
to affect ones stance on the identity of the two sets (in a CHF setting,
different concepts may apply).

Coins were created to express  propositions ("This thing weighs ",
"This thing is made of Electrum", "Made in Lydia", "Lions are cool").  They
are information bearing objects, and this information distinguishes the
coinage from an equivalent weight of metal.  (I would consider them to be
documents, but that stance is not necessary)

How do you extend this into crypto currencies when an transaction is not even 
represented by a coin. It’s just a currency. From this point of view a coin is 
just some sort of instance of a currency. Older ones are:

 

* Barter

* Coins

* Bills

* etc

Hm...

 

If Manifestation Product Type is restricted to "expression carrier", then 
please invent something similar for coins/medals/banknotes. There are so many 
in museums :-)

 

There is a "Product Type" some numismats call "series", others call "issue". 
Look at the American Numismatic Society (e.g.  
 
http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).aug.2A a "Product Type" with 5 items).

 

In practice, I would not be confortable with generic Types having properties 
like "has_axis" or "has_edge_legend".

Dear Christian-Emil,

of course we can argue that there is information on it, but we do not acquire
coins to get access to the "Expression" on it. A coin would be functional even 
without any
information on it. May be we overstrech the notion of "Expression" in this 
case? Of course, the coin
by its shape represents a symbol, but this symbol classifies the coin. If I 
have 10 copies of Shakespeare,
I would not argue to have acquired more Shakespeare, as I would with 10 Euro 
coins.

It appears to me, that there is not enough similarity to classify a coin as a 
Manifestation Product Type.

Opinions?

Best,

Martin

Dear Dan,

Indeed we have considered your thoughts and  we have defined as
extensions for the coins and later for the CRM:


E12 Production. PC1 produced things of type: E55 Type
E22 Man-Made Object. PC2 is example of: E55 Type


Both PC1 and PC2 are subproperties of P2 has type

The above are depicted in slide 23 in my presentation where I describe how
we modeled the categorical production.

We believe that PC1 and PC2 are a generalization of R26 produced things of
type and R7 is example of of FRBR.
FRBR is not suitable for our coin modeling since it refers to bibliographic
information, as Christian-Emil pointed out.

It is open for discussion  if there is a need for generalizing F32 Manifestation
Product Type

This is a topic for future discussion in CRM-SIG.

Best regards,
Maria

Dear Maria



Thanks you. I've read your (very useful) London presentation:

and I plan to take advantage of the mapping:
http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/3M 



But I'm tempted to treat the coins as exemplars of an "issue", i.e.



 




IMHO, a thing like:



http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.1(2).cl.31




is a F3, mutatis mutandis.



When you did your mapping did you considered something like this ?
And which were the arguments against ?

Call for Contributions
19th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital 
Libraries

Poznań, Poland, September 14-18, 2015
http://tpdl2015.info/

The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries 
(TPDL) constitutes a leading scientific forum on digital libraries that 
brings together researchers, developers, content
providers and users in the field of digital libraries. TPDL 2015 will be 
organized by Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) and it 
will be held in Poznań, Poland on September 14-18, 2015.


* Aims and scope *
Valuable and rapidly increasing volumes of data are created or 
transformed into digital form by all fields of scientific, educational, 
cultural, governmental and industry activities. For this purpose the 
digital libraries community has developed long-term and 
interdisciplinary research agendas, providing significant results, such 
as development of Digital Libraries, solving practical problems,
accomodating research data and satisfying the needs of specific user 
communities.


The advent of the technologies that enhance the exchange of information 
with rich semantics is of particular interest in the community. 
Information providers inter-link their metadata with user
contributed data and offer new services outlooking to the development of 
a web of data and addressing the interoperability and long-term 
preservation challenges.


TPDL 2015 under the general theme "Connecting Digital Collections", 
invites submissions for scientific and research work in the following 
categories: Full Papers, Short Papers, Posters and Demonstrations, 
Workshops and Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions 
will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and 
clarity in a triple peer review process. The TPDL 2015 proceedings will 
be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes

in Computer Science series (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs).

Industry submissions are especially welcome, and a dedicated conference 
track is planned for them if many quality submissions are received.
