Physical Thing – E18
E18 Physical Thing
Subclass of:
Scope note:
This class comprises all persistent physical items with a relatively stable form, human-made or natural.
Depending on the existence of natural boundaries of such things, the CIDOC 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.
An instance of E18 Physical Thing occupies not only a particular geometric space at any instant of its existence, but in the course of its existence it also forms a trajectory through spacetime, which occupies a real, that is phenomenal, volume in spacetime. We include in the occupied space the space filled by the matter of the physical thing and all its inner spaces, such as the interior of a box. For the purpose of more detailed descriptions of the presence of an instance of E18 Physical Thing in space and time it can be associated with its specific instance of E92 Spacetime Volume by the property P196 defines (is defined by).
The CIDOC CRM is generally not concerned with amounts of matter in fluid or gaseous states, as long as they are not confined in an identifiable way for an identifiable minimal time-span.
Examples:
the Mona Lisa (E22) (Mohen, 2006)
the Cullinan Diamond (E19) (Scarratt and Shor, 2006)
the cave “Ideon Andron” in Crete (E26) (Smith, 1844-49)

| Cette classe comprend toutes les entités physiques persistantes présentant une forme raisonnablement stable, [n.d.t.qu'elles aient été] élaborées par l'humain ou [n.d.t. qu'elles soient] naturelles.[n.d.t. Selon que ces instances de E18_Chose_matérielle présentent ou non des limites naturelles, le CIDOC CRM les considère soit comme des instances de E19_Objet_matériel, soit comme des instances de E26_Caractéristique_physique, comme les trous, les rivières, les terrains, etc.] La plupart des instances de E19_Objet_matériel peuvent être déplacées (si celles-ci ne sont pas trop lourdes), tandis que les caractéristiques [n.d.t. (E26_Caractéristique_physique)] font partie intégrante de la matière environnante.Une instance de E18_Chose_matérielle occupe non seulement un espace géométrique particulier à tout instant de son existence, mais au cours de cette dernière elle forme également une trajectoire dans l'espace et le temps. Celle-ci occupe un volume réel dans l'espace-temps, c.-à-d. que ce volume est de nature phénoménale [n.d.t. en d'autres termes, il peut être perçu par les sens ou lors d'une expérience.] L'espace que la matière de la chose matérielle remplit ainsi que tous ses espaces intérieurs, comme l'intérieur d'une boîte, sont inclus dans cette conception de l'espace occupé. Aux fins des descriptions plus détaillées de la présence d'une instance de E18_Chose_matérielle dans l'espace et le temps, elle peut être associée à son instance spécifique de E92_Volume_spatio-temporel par la propriété P196_définit (est_défini_par). Le CIDOC CRM ne traite généralement pas des cas d'amas de matière à l'état liquide ou gazeux tant qu'ils ne sont pas confinés d'une manière identifiable au sein d'un intervalle temporel minimalement identifiable. | fr | CIDOC CRM version 7.1.3 | 0 |
