Re: [Crm-sig] Modelling an Event's General Outcome Ideas? Properties?

2021-12-14 Thread George Bruseker via Crm-sig
Hi Thanasi,

Yes that's true. Good reminder. That might be a solution but then we would
need the particular property for expressing that two events are causally
connected. I avoided to put it in the last email so as not to stir up to
many semantic teapots. But obviously to have the general property we should
have the particular property. So we have for example we have the particular
properties:

https://cidoc-crm.org/Property/P20-had-specific-purpose/version-7.1.1
and
https://cidoc-crm.org/Property/P21-had-general-purpose/version-7.1.1

so the analogy to this in my situation is probably

O13 triggers (is triggered by)
https://cidoc-crm.org/crmsci/sites/default/files/CRMsci%20v.1.4.pdf
and we need the analogy of p21 to make the model complete

On another note out of curiosity, in the extension where every property has
a 'type of' property what happens with the extant 'type of' properties? I
assume there isn't any has general purpose of type property... or is there?

Cheers

G

Hi George, all,

As part of Linked Conservation Data (and with the help of Carlo, Martin 
and Steve) we proposed the idea of Typed Properties which derive from 
current CRM properties and always have E55 Type as range.


E.g. "bears feature" → "bears feature of type" so that one can describe 
the type of something without specifying the individual. It is very 
economical in conservation where we want to avoid describing hundreds of 
individuals of similar types.


We are still baking the exact impact of such a reduction from 
individuals to Types. One issue in RDFS is the multitude of new 
properties. There seems to be a simple implementation in OWL with 
property paths. Not an immediate solution but a flag for more to come.


All the best,

Thanasis

better phrasing, 'about a particular thing that is known categorically'

Eg Sales Record about 'Sale Event'

[Crm-sig] About ... entity of Type?

2021-12-14 Thread George Bruseker via Crm-sig
Dear all,

Recently work is on-going on a new property 'represents thing of type'
which is distinct from 'represents' (again that particular vs categorical
distinction).

https://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-476-pxx-represents-entity-of-type

I am confronted with cases of an information object being about not a
particular thing but a category of thing... in my case event types but I
guess it could be object types. Of course the existing 'about' property is
sufficient but it doesn't allow to differentiate that it is not just a type
but about an as yet unknown X which was of type Y... It seems to me similar
to the other new property we are working on already.

Does anybody else have cases like this? Any interest in a new parallel
property like that OR a solution that requires no new properties but also
doesn't require semantic back flips to understand?

Best,

George

[Crm-sig] Modelling an Event's General Outcome Ideas? Properties?

2021-12-14 Thread George Bruseker via Crm-sig
Hi all,

I have situations in which I have events where the data curators describe
events for which they have generic knowledge of the outcome: sold,
completed, incomplete, this sort of thing. So there is knowledge but it is
not knowledge of the particular next event but of a general kind of outcome.

We have properties like: P21 had general purpose (was purpose of) which is
very useful for when the data curator only has generic knowledge knowledge
and not particular knowledge regarding purpose. This seems a parallel to
this case.

Anybody else have this case and have an interest in a property like 'had
general outcome' or 'had outcome of type' that goes from Event to a Type?
Or, better yet if possible, a solution that doesn't involve a new property
but that does meet this semantic need without too many contortions?

Best,

George
