Physical Thing – E18
E18 Physical Thing
Subclass of:
Scope note:
This class comprises all persistent physical items with a relatively stable form, man-made or natural.
Depending on the existence of natural boundaries of such things, the CRM distinguishes the instances of E19 Physical Object from instances of E26 Physical Feature, such as holes, rivers, pieces of land etc. Most instances of E19 Physical Object can be moved (if not too heavy), whereas features are integral to the surrounding matter.
The CRM is generally not concerned with amounts of matter in fluid or gaseous states.
Examples:
the cave “Ideon Andron” in Crete (E26)
the Mona Lisa (E22)
the Cullinan Diamond (E19)
In First Order Logic:
- E18(x) ⇒ E72(x)
Outgoing properties:
- crm:P44 has condition (is condition of) (1,1:0,n) → crm:E3 Condition State
- crm:P45 consists of (is incorporated in) (0,n:1,n) → crm:E57 Material
- crm:P46 is composed of (forms part of) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E18 Physical Thing
- crm:P49 has former or current keeper (is former or current keeper of) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E39 Actor
- crm:P50 has current keeper (is current keeper of) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E39 Actor
- crm:P51 has former or current owner (is former or current owner of) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E39 Actor
- crm:P52 has current owner (is current owner of) (0,n:0,n) → crm:E39 Actor
- crm:P53 has former or current location (is former or current location of) (0,n:1,n) → crm:E53 Place
- crm:P58 has section definition (defines section) (1,1:0,n) → crm:E46 Section Definition
- crm:P59 has section (is located on or within) (0,1:0,n) → crm:E53 Place
Incoming properties:
- crm:E6 Destruction → crm:P13 destroyed (was destroyed by) (0,1:1,n)
- crm:E8 Acquisition → crm:P24 transferred title of (changed ownership through) (0,n:1,n)
- crm:E10 Transfer of Custody → crm:P30 transferred custody of (custody transferred through) (0,n:1,n)
- crm:E14 Condition Assessment → crm:P34 concerned (was assessed by) (0,n:1,n)
- crm:E18 Physical Thing → crm:P46 is composed of (forms part of) (0,n:0,n)
- crm:E79 Part Addition → crm:P111 added (was added by) (0,n:1,n)
- crm:E80 Part Removal → crm:P113 removed (was removed by) (0,n:1,n)
