Subclass of:

• crmsci:S5 Inference Making

Scope note:

This class comprises the action of concluding propositions on a respective reality from observational data by making evaluations based on mathematical inference rules and calculations using established hypotheses, such as the calculation of an earthquake epicenter. S6 Data Evaluation is not defined as S21/E16 Measurement; Secondary derivations of dimensions of an object from data measured by different processes are regarded as S6 Data Evaluation and not determining instances of Measurement in its own right. For instance, the volume of a statue concluded from a 3D model is an instance of S6 Data Evaluation and not of Measurement.

Examples:

• the calculation of the earthquake epicenter of Lokris area in 1989 by IGME (S6) (Ganas et al., 2006).
• the calculation of the intensity distance and assignment of PGA_N using the gcf2sac software from the EPPO shock wave recording of 2/2/1990 in Athens (S6) (Lucchese et al., 2013; Kritikos et al., 2013; InGeoCloudS, 2012; InGeoCloudS, 2013).
• the calculation of the overall height of the statue of Hercules in the Temple of Hercules in Amman from the measurement of the size of the fragment of the fingers (S6) (‘Temple of Hercules (Amman)’, Wikipedia, 2022).

In First Order Logic:

• S6(x) ⇒ S5(x)

Outgoing properties:

• crmsci:O10 assigned dimension (dimension was assigned by) (0,n:1,n) → crm:E54 Dimension
• crmsci:O11 described (was described by) (0,n:1,n) → crmsci:S15 Observable Entity
