Scope note

Text

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.
