C20 Research Concept

Subclass of:

Scope note:

This class comprises conceptual entities that are identified, defined, or employed within a research context for the purposes of analysis, interpretation, classification, or explanation. A Research Concept represents a unit of meaning that may be abstract, theoretical, methodological, or domain-specific, and that is explicitly recognised as relevant to a research activity or research discourse.

Instances of this class may include, but are not limited to, theoretical notions, analytical categories, methodological constructs, interpretative terms, or other concepts used to structure research questions, data interpretation, or scholarly argumentation. The class is intentionally broad in scope in order to support the documentation of a wide variety of kinds of information within a single conceptual framework.

As a subclass of crm:E55 Type, a Research Concept functions as a classificatory or typological entity rather than as a material or temporal phenomenon. It may be used to type, annotate, or semantically qualify instances of other CRM classes (such as activities, objects, texts, or observations) in accordance with the conceptual framework of a given research domain.

This class does not prescribe a specific epistemological status for the concepts it documents. It is intended as a flexible mechanism for representing research-relevant concepts across disciplines, methodologies, and theoretical traditions.
