Subclass of:

• aaao:ZE35 Locative Status

Scope note:

An instance of conceptual locative status is the collective ascription to a conceptual object of a formal association to a geographic place. The substance of the locative status is the communal attribution of a defined association type between the designated object and place.

As opposed to connections created between conceptual objects and places through their passage through space and time, e.g.: the place of creation being a property of the production event of an individual, conceptual locative statuses are created de jure rather than de facto and create a socially recognized connection between an object and a location regardless the real or known spatiotemporal history of that object. For example, documentation may point to ambiguous evidence linking an object and a place such as the 'inspiration' location of a conceptual object. In these cases, when we do not know the actual physical history of the inspiration of the object in question, but we do have a de jure attribution from which some knowledge may be derived, we can document and follow an instance of Conceptual Locative Status for an object in relation to a geographic location.

Instances of conceptual locative status are recognizable through evidence of community members adopting the intentional stance of so recognizing this status, as observable from direct witnesses, through the reports of competent observers or through evidence of a declarative act initiating this status.

Instances of locative status may come to be through a formal process such as a declarative act of such definition, or may have arisen through habit, fiat or be of unknown origin. Instances of locative status may end either though a formal process, such as a new declarative act, or may simply fade out of use, be eliminated by fiat or be of unknown reason.
