Scope note

Text

Representations are modelled as the content of individual or collective intentionality. They are sets of propositional objects and other related abstract objects that are present in human minds as a conceptualization proper to and shared by individuals in a social context.

These persons do not necessarily act together, and are therefore not a group in the sense of crm:E74 Group but they share the same representations stemming from education, social context, professional and social engagement, media, etc.

In this perspective, representations (beliefs, hopes, desires, knowledge, and also practical know-how, etc.) are constitutive of human individuals in their mental identity, as well as communities and social collectives.
