Subclass of:

• crm:E65 Creation
• crm:E12 Production

Scope note:

This class comprises activities that result in instances of F2 Expression coming into existence. An instance of F2 Expression is considered to be created when it is captured on a carrier other than the creator’s brain.

Although F2 Expression is an abstract entity, a conceptual object, the creation of an expression inevitably also affects the physical world: when you scribble the first draft of a poem on a sheet of paper, you produce an instance of F3 Manifestation and an instance of F5 Item. F28 Expression Creation is a subclass of E12 Production because the recording of the expression causes a physical modification of the E18 Physical Thing that serves as the carrier. The creation of an instance of F2 Expression coincides with the creation of the first instance of F3 Manifestation that R4 embodies (is embodied in) this instance of F2 Expression.

The P2 has type (is type of) property can be used to specify the type of the instance of F28 Expression Creation (i.e., activities such as translating, revising, or arranging music are types of creation process). The type of the process is distinct from the type of result even though the typology frequently used for instances of the resulting F2 Expressions may imply the category of the instance of the F28 Expression Creation.

An instance of F28 Expression Creation may use as source material one or more specific instances of F2 Expression. When the source expression is documented this is also expressed by the property R76 is derivative of (has derivative).

In First Order Logic:

• F28(x) ⇒ E65(x)
• F28(x) ⇒ E12(x)

Outgoing properties:

• lrmoo:R17 created (was created by) (1,1:1,n) → lrmoo:F2 Expression
• lrmoo:R19 created a realisation of (was realised through) (1,n:1,1) → lrmoo:F1 Work
• lrmoo:R81 recorded (is recorded in) (0,n:0,1) → lrmoo:F31 Performance
