Here is my homework for issue 248. What should be done was: 

“a) ::Put a comment into the introduction of CRM that same label is used if the 
substance of the property is regarded to be the same, but different constraints 
apply to their use with a specific class, such as Parts of a period must be 
periods etc. (to be elaborated by Øyvind)”

My comment for the introduction is:

“In CIDOC-CRM the names of labels cannot be used to infer their meaning. Only 
the full description including scope notes, context of use, and examples can 
provide the necessary semantic for understanding an entity or a property. Thus, 
if two entities or properties have the same name, such as P5 consists of and P9 
consists of, this does not imply an identity between the two entities or 
properties. In such cases their substance are seen as similar but their 
contexts of use are different. P5 and P9 are distinguished by their different 
domains and ranges which situates them in different contexts, thus give them 
different meanings.”

Best,

Øyvind
