E27 Site
Subclass of: E26 Physical Feature
Scope Note: This class comprises pieces of land or sea floor.
In contrast to the purely geometric notion of E53 Place, this class describes constellations of matter on the surface of the Earth or other celestial body, which can be represented by photographs, paintings and maps.
Instances of E27 Site are composed of relatively immobile material items and features in a particular configuration at a particular location.
Examples:
In First Order Logic:
E27(x)⊃ E26(x)
E28 Conceptual Object
Subclass of: E71 Man-Made Thing
Superclass of: E55 Type
E89 Propositional Object
E90 Symbolic Object
Scope note: This class comprises non-material products of our minds and other human produced data that have become objects of a discourse about their identity, circumstances of creation or historical implication. The production of such information may have been supported by the use of technical devices such as cameras or computers.
Characteristically, instances of this class are created, invented or thought by someone, and then may be documented or communicated between persons. Instances of E28 Conceptual Object have the ability to exist on more than one particular carrier at the same time, such as paper, electronic signals, marks, audio media, paintings, photos, human memories, etc.
They cannot be destroyed. They exist as long as they can be found on at least one carrier or in at least one human memory. Their existence ends when the last carrier and the last memory are lost.
Examples:
-
Beethoven’s “Ode an die Freude” (Ode to Joy) (E73)
-
the definition of “ontology” in the Oxford English Dictionary
-
the knowledge about the victory at Marathon carried by the famous runner
-

In First Order Logic:
E28(x) ⊃ E71(x)
Properties: P149 is identified by (identifies): E75 Conceptual Object Appellation
E29 Design or Procedure
Subclass of: E73 Information Object
Scope note: This class comprises documented plans for the execution of actions in order to achieve a result of a specific quality, form or contents. In particular it comprises plans for deliberate human activities that may result in the modification or production of instances of E24 Physical Thing.
Instances of E29 Design or Procedure can be structured in parts and sequences or depend on others. This is modelled using P69 has association with (is associated with)..
Designs or procedures can be seen as one of the following:
-
A schema for the activities it describes
-
A schema of the products that result from their application.
-
An independent intellectual product that may have never been applied, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s famous plans for flying machines.
Because designs or procedures may never be applied or only partially executed, the CRM models a loose relationship between the plan and the respective product.
Examples:
-
the ISO standardisation procedure
-
the musical notation for Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”
-
the architectural drawings for the Kölner Dom in Cologne, Germany
-
The drawing on the folio 860 of the Codex Atlanticus from Leonardo da Vinci, 1486-1490, kept in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan
In First Order Logic:
E29(x) ⊃ E73(x)
Properties:
P68 foresees use of (use foreseen by): E57 Material
P69 has association with (is associated with): E29 Design or Procedure
(P69.1 has type: E55 Type)
E30 Right
Subclass of: E89 Propositional Object
Scope Note: This class comprises legal privileges concerning material and immaterial things or their derivatives.
These include reproduction and property rights.
Examples:
-
copyright held by ISO on ISO/CD 21127

E31 Document
Subclass of: E73 Information Object
Superclass of: E32 Authority Document
Scope note: This class comprises identifiable immaterial items that make propositions about reality.
These propositions may be expressed in text, graphics, images, audiograms, videograms or by other similar means. Documentation databases are regarded as a special case of E31 Document. This class should not be confused with the term “document” in Information Technology, which is compatible with E73 Information Object.
Examples:
-
the Encyclopaedia Britannica (E32)
-
The image content of the photo of the Allied Leaders at Yalta published by UPI, 1945 (E38)
-
the Doomsday Book
In First Order Logic:
E31(x) ⊃ E73(x)
Properties:
P70 documents (is documented in): E1 CRM Entity
E32 Authority Document
Subclass of: E31 Document
Scope note: This class comprises encyclopaedia, thesauri, authority lists and other documents that define terminology or conceptual systems for consistent use.
Examples:
-
Webster's Dictionary
-
Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus
-
the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model
In First Order Logic:
E32(x) ⊃ E31(x)
