C11 Appellation in a Language
Subclass of:
Superclass of:
Scope note:
This class refers to the fact that an entity (actor, group, concept, etc.) is identified in the context of a human society or social collective, during a given time span, using a specific appellation. This identifying appellation is generally related to the main language used be the society or collective, or at least considered as understandable or valid in that context (e.g. a Latin or English appellation in a French speaking context).
As a subclass of sdh:C7 Intentional State, this class does not refer to an activity of collectively naming a thing (cf. the frbroo:F52 Name Use Activity class) but to the possibility of identifying with that appellation within the given social context or collective.
The crm:P1 is identified property is a shortcut of the present class as it directly connects (i.e. independently from time and context) a crm:E1 Entity to its crmE41 Appellation.
Examples:
In First Order Logic:
- C11(x) ⇒ C7(x)
Outgoing properties:
- sdh:P11 is appellation for language of (has appellation for language) (0,n:1,1) → crm:E1 CRM Entity
- sdh:P12 used in language (is used by) (0,n:1,1) → crm:E56 Language
- sdh:P13 refers to name (0,1:1,1) → crm:E41 Appellation
- sdh:P14 has appellation for language type (is appellation for language type of) (0,n:0,1) → sdh:C12 Appellation in a Language Type
