Subclass of:

• crm:E12 Production

Scope note:

This class comprises activities that result in one or more instances of F5 Item coming into existence. The production of a series of physical objects (printed books, scores, CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, etc.), producing a unique item (writing a manuscript on parchment, painting a watercolour, etc.), and the creation of a new copy of a file on an electronic carrier are all regarded as instances of F32 Item Production Event.

For mass-produced items, the production process (no matter whether it is a book, a sound recording, a DVD, a cartographic resource, etc.) strives to produce items all as similar as possible to a prototype that displays all the features that all the copies of the publication should also display, which is reflected in the property R27 materialized: F3 Manifestation.

Examples:

the printing and binding of copies of the paperback edition of the HarperCollins 2017 publication ‘Murder on the Orient Express / Agatha Christie’, by CPI Ltd (UK)

the printing of copies of the score of Bach’s ‘Goldberg Variations’ by Balthasar Schmid in 1741

the casting of Auguste Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ at the Fonderie Alexis Rudier in 1904

the production of the items of the CD publication ‘Bach Goldberg Variations’, published by Hyperion Records in 2016, including the pressing of the CDs, the printing of the booklet and cover, assembling the parts, etc.

In First Order Logic:

• F32(x) ⇒ E12(x)

Outgoing properties:

• lrmoo:R27 materialized (was materialized by) (0,n:0,n) → lrmoo:F3 Manifestation
• lrmoo:R28 produced (was produced by) (1,1:1,n) → lrmoo:F5 Item
