Domain:

crmsci:S23 Position Determination

Range:

crmsci:S15 Observable Entity

Quantification:

0,n:1,1

Subproperty of:

• crmsci:S4 Observation → crmsci:O8 observed (was observed by) → crmsci:S15 Observable Entity

Scope note:

This property connects an instance of S23 Position Determination with the instance of S15 Observable Entity whose position is being determined.

Examples:

• The determination of the position of the Titanic for the initial distress call after hitting an iceberg (S23) determined position of the Titanic (E22). (Halpern, 2011)
• The determination of the position of the Titanic by officer Joseph G. Boxhall after the initial distress signal was sent (S23) determined position of the Titanic (E22) (Halpern, 2011)
• The determination of the position of the Titanic by Robert Ballard's team after the Titanic ship-wreck was found (S23) determined position of the Titanic. [More precisely it determined the position of the centre of the ‘boiler field’ of Titanic’s debris] (E22) (Ballard et al., 1987)

In First Order Logic:

• O32(x,y) ⇒ S23(x)
• O32(x,y) ⇒ S15(y)
• O32(x,y) ⇒ O8(x,y)
