Scope note

Text

This class comprises events in which physical objects are moved from one place to another and wherein the sending person is not also the object of the event. The substance of this class is that of an intentional activity. Particularly, it is typical to know the declared origin and destination of an instance of sending but not necessarily its eventual outcome.

An instance of sending comes into existence when the requisite actions are undertaken to initiate the dispatch of a physical object from one place to another are put it place and the sending made possible. An instance of sending may come to an end when the object sent has reached its intended destination. It may also end if the intention to send is abandoned or the means by which to achieve it are no longer available.
