Physical Feature – E26
E26 Physical Feature
Subclass of:
Superclass of:
Scope note:
This class comprises identifiable features that are physically attached in an integral way to particular physical objects.
Instances of E26 Physical Feature share many of the attributes of instances of E19 Physical Object. They may have a one-, two- or three-dimensional geometric extent, but there are no natural borders that separate them completely in an objective way from the carrier objects. For example, a doorway is a feature but the door itself, being attached by hinges, is not.
Instances of E26 Physical Feature can be features in a narrower sense, such as scratches, holes, reliefs, surface colours, reflection zones in an opal crystal or a density change in a piece of wood. In the wider sense, they are portions of particular objects with partially imaginary borders, such as the core of the Earth, an area of property on the surface of the Earth, a landscape or the head of a contiguous marble statue. They can be measured and dated, and it is sometimes possible to state who or what is or was responsible for them. They cannot be separated from the carrier object, but a segment of the carrier object may be identified (or sometimes removed) carrying the complete feature.
This definition coincides with the definition of "fiat objects" (Smith & Varzi, 2000, pp.401-420), with the exception of aggregates of “bona fide objects”.
Examples:
the cave of Dirou, Mani, Greece (Psimenos. 2005)
the temple in Abu Simbel before its removal, which was carved out of solid rock (E25) (Hawass, 2000)
Albrecht Duerer's signature on his painting of Charles the Great (E25) (Strauss, 1974)
the damage to the nose of the Great Sphinx in Giza (Temple, 2009)
Michael Jackson’s nose prior to plastic surgery
In First Order Logic:
- E26(x) ⇒ E18(x)

| Cette classe comprend des caractéristiques identifiables qui sont physiquement attachées de manière intégrale à des objets physiques particuliers.Les instances de E26_Caractéristique_physique partagent de nombreux attributs avec les instances de E19_Objet_matériel. Elles peuvent avoir une étendue géométrique à une, deux ou trois dimensions, mais il n'y a pas de limites naturelles qui les séparent complètement et objectivement des objets auxquels elles s'intègrent. Par exemple, l'embrasure d'une porte est une caractéristique, mais la porte elle-même, étant fixée par des charnières, ne l'est pas.Les instances de E26_Caractéristique_physique peuvent être des caractéristiques au sens strict, telles que des rayures, des trous, des reliefs, des couleurs de surface, des zones de réflexion dans un cristal d'opale ou un changement de densité dans un morceau de bois. Au sens large, ce sont des parties d'objets particuliers aux limites partiellement imaginaires, comme le noyau de la Terre, une zone de propriété à la surface de la Terre, un paysage ou la tête d'une statue de marbre contiguë. Ces parties peuvent être mesurées et datées, et il est parfois possible d'indiquer qui ou quoi en est ou en était le responsable. Les instances de E26_Caractéristique_physique ne peuvent pas être séparées de l'objet auquel elles s'intègrent, mais un segment de cet objet intégrant une caractéristique complète peut être identifié (ou parfois retiré). Cette définition coïncide avec celle des « objets fiat » [n.d.t. dont les limites sont artificielles] (Smith et Varzi, 2000, pp. 401-420), à l'exception des agrégats d'« objets bona fide » [n.d.t. dont les limites sont naturelles]. | fr | CIDOC CRM version 7.1.3 | 0 |
