Dear All, Let me add two remarks:
Information lives from relations, not classes. To talk about arrangements to sell a physical object and a conceptual object, does not create a requirement for a class combining the two. You just sell two things of different nature, in one provision. You may describe a plan to do so. In order to list a set of things to be sold in a Plan (E29), does not create a need for a "set" class.
Our first concern is *NOT* to create new classes, if we can avoid it. A new class is a burden for implementation, use, training and integration, in a standard.
How long a physical aggregate is kept purposely together and used as one, does not affect its physical substance.
See attached slides about "Temporary Aggregates" we had proposed for biodiversity studies. It actually does not need a new class, as it does not introduce new properties. Simply, the production and destruction is implied in its use.

What Martin describes was my understanding as well at the Linked.Art meeting. In response to Rob's notes:I think that indeed we have the "lot (object)" which is a physical thing that is sold and "lot (record)" which is a document talking about the "lot (object)". Writing about a physical thing does not make it a concept, it creates a new concept. So I think there is no problem there.The problem is Rob's note 4 which George also mentioned: that the lot that someone buys may be a non-material thing and aggregated only for the auction. It is likely a conceptual object, so maybe we need something like "P148 has component (is component of)" in that case?If one goes down the "lot" as a subclass route, the two lots (lot physical and lot conceptual) should be different classes I think. But I can see that increases complexity.T.

The time, how long they are together, does not play a role. The question is only, if they are well defined and identified for some time.For biodiversity scenaria, we have used a concept of Temporary Aggregate which exists only within an Activity, such as a catch of plankton and counting the species in it.
