This is an ontology
developed in the project Sappho Digital by Laura Untner. It reuses the Erlangen OWL version of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM; ECRM 240307, based on CIDOC CRM 7.1.3), the object-oriented version of IFLA’s Library Reference Model (LRMoo; v1.1.1) and INTRO (the Intertextual, Interpictorial and Intermedial Relations
Ontology; beta202506) to model basic biographical and bibliographical as well as intertextual
information. The ontology has three modules that are connected with each other, see figure
1:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurauntner/sappho-digital/refs/heads/main/documentation/ontology/meta.png.
The authors module models basic bibliographic information, see figure 2:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laurauntner/sappho-digital/refs/heads/main/documentation/ontology/authors_simple.png.
The works module models basic biographic information, see figure 3:

Scope note: This class comprises real persons who live or are
assumed to have lived. Legendary figures that may have existed, such as Ulysses and King
Arthur, fall into this class if the documentation refers to them as historical figures. In
cases where doubt exists as to whether several persons are in fact identical, multiple
instances can be created and linked to indicate their relationship. The CIDOC CRM does not
propose a specific form to support reasoning about possible identity. In a bibliographic
context, a name presented following the conventions usually employed for personal names will
be assumed to correspond to an actual real person (an instance of E21 Person), unless evidence
is available to indicate that this is not the case. The fact that a persona may erroneously be
classified as an instance of E21 Person does not imply that the concept comprises personae.
Examples: - Tut-Ankh-Amun (Edwards and Boltin, 1979) - Nelson Mandela (Brown and Hort, 2006)

Scope note: This class comprises the textual strings that within a
cultural context can be clearly identified as titles due to their form. Being a subclass of
E41 Appellation, E35 Title can only be used when such a string is actually used as a title of
a work, such as a text, an artwork, or a piece of music. Titles are proper noun phrases or
verbal phrases, and should not be confused with generic object names such as “chair”,
“painting”, or “book” (the latter are common nouns that stand for instances of E55 Type).
Titles may be assigned by the creator of the work itself, or by a social group. This class
also comprises the translations of titles that are used as surrogates for the original titles
in different social contexts. Examples: - “The Merchant of Venice” (McCullough, 2005) - “Mona
Lisa” (Mohen, Menu and Mottin, 2006) - “La Pie” (Bortolatto, 1981) - “Lucy in the Sky with
Diamonds” (Lennon, 1967) In First Order Logic: - E35(x) ⇒ E33(x) - E35(x) ⇒ E41(x)

E36
Scope note: This class comprises the intellectual or conceptual
aspects of recognisable marks and images. This class does not intend to describe the
idiosyncratic characteristics of an individual physical embodiment of a visual item, but the
underlying prototype. For example, a mark such as the ICOM logo is generally considered to be
the same logo when used on any number of publications. The size, orientation, and colour may
change, but the logo remains uniquely identifiable. The same is true of images that are
reproduced many times. This means that visual items are independent of their physical support.
The E36 Visual Item class provides a means of identifying and linking together instances of
E24 Physical Human-Made Thing that carry the same visual symbols, marks, or images, etc. The
property P62 depicts (is depicted by) between E24 Physical Human-Made Thing and the depicted
subjects (E1 CRM Entity) can be regarded as a shortcut of the more fully developed path from
E24 Physical Human-Made Thing through P65 shows visual item (is shown by), E36 Visual Item,
P138 represents (has representation) to E1 CRM Entity, which in addition captures the optical
features of the depiction. Examples: - the visual appearance of Monet’s “La Pie” (Bortolatto,
1981) - the Coca-Cola logo (E34) - the Chi-Rho (E37) - the communist red star (E37) - the
surface shape of Auguste Rodin's statue "Le Penseur" [There exist more than 20 copies, even of
different size. Therefore, this is a good example that it is only the common surface shape, an
immaterial visual item, which justifies displaying these copies as works of Auguste Rodin. As
usual practice, Rodin himself did not produce the bronze statue, but only the prototype
model.] In First Order Logic: - E36(x) ⇒ E73(x)

Scope note: This class comprises strings or codes assigned to
instances of E1 CRM Entity in order to identify them uniquely and permanently within the
context of one or more organisations. Such codes are often known as inventory numbers,
registration codes, etc. and are typically composed of alphanumeric sequences. Postal
addresses, telephone numbers, URLs and e-mail addresses are characteristic examples of
identifiers used by services transporting things between clients. The class E42 Identifier is
not normally used for machine-generated identifiers used for automated processing unless these
are also used by human agents. Examples: - “MM.GE.195” - “13.45.1976” - “OXCMS: 1997.4.1”
(fictitious) - “ISSN 0041-5278” [Identifier for “The UNESCO Courier (Print)”] - ISRC
“FIFIN8900186” [Identifier for : Kraft (29 min 14 s) / Magnus Lindberg, comp. ; Toimii

French rules] (Reaney, 1974) - “+41 22 418 5571” - “ weasel@paveprime.com” - “Rue David Dufour

E52 Intervalle temporel
E52 Período de Tempo

E52 时段
E52
Scope note: This class comprises abstract temporal extents, in the
sense of Galilean physics, having a beginning, an end, and a duration. Instances of E52
Time-Span have no semantic connotations about phenomena happening within the temporal extent
they represent. They do not convey any meaning other than a positioning on the “time-line” of
chronology. The actual extent of an instance of E52 Time-Span can be approximated by
properties of E52 Time-Span giving inner and outer bounds in the form of dates (instances of
E61 Time Primitive). Comparing knowledge about time-spans is fundamental for chronological
reasoning. Some instances of E52 Time-Span may be defined as the actual, in principle
observable, temporal extent of instances of E2 Temporal Entity via the property P4 has
time-span (is time-span of): E52 Time-Span. They constitute phenomenal time-spans as defined
in CRMgeo (Doerr & Hiebel 2013). Since our knowledge of history is imperfect and physical
phenomena are fuzzy in nature, the extent of phenomenal time-spans can only be described in
approximation. An extreme case of approximation, might, for example, define an instance of E52
Time-Span having unknown beginning, end and duration. It may, nevertheless, be associated with
other descriptions by which people can infer knowledge about it, such as in relative
chronologies. Some instances of E52 may be defined precisely as representing a declaration of
a temporal extent, as, for instance, done in a business contract. They constitute declarative
time-spans as defined in CRMgeo (Doerr & Hiebel 2013) and can be described via the
property E61 Time Primitive P170 defines time (time is defined by): E52 Time-Span. When used
as a common E52 Time-Span for two events, it will nevertheless describe them as being
simultaneous, even if nothing else is known. Examples: - 1961 - From 12-17-1993 to 12-8-1996 -
14h30 to 16h22 4(th) July 1945 - 9.30 am 1.1.1999 to 2.00 pm 1.1.1999 - the time-span of the

Scope note: This class comprises extents in the natural space where
people live, in particular on the surface of the Earth, in the pure sense of physics:
independent from temporal phenomena and matter. They may serve describing the physical
location of things or phenomena or other areas of interest. Geometrically, instances of E53
Place constitute single contiguous areas or a finite aggregation of disjoint areas in space
which are each individually contiguous. They may have fuzzy boundaries. The instances of E53
Place are usually determined by reference to the position of “immobile” objects such as
buildings, cities, mountains, rivers, or dedicated geodetic marks, but may also be determined
by reference to mobile objects. A Place can be determined by combining a frame of reference
and a location with respect to this frame. It is sometimes argued that instances of E53 Place
are best identified by global coordinates or absolute reference systems. However, relative
references are often more relevant in the context of cultural documentation and tend to be
more precise. In particular, people are often interested in position in relation to large,
mobile objects, such as ships. For example, the Place at which Nelson died is known with
reference to a large mobile object, i.e. H.M.S Victory. A resolution of this Place in terms of
absolute coordinates would require knowledge of the movements of the vessel and the precise
time of death, either of which may be revised, and the result would lack historical and
cultural relevance. Any instance of E18 Physical Thing can serve as a frame of reference for
an instance of E53 Place. This may be documented using the property P157 is at rest relative
to (provides reference space for). Examples: - the extent of the UK in the year 2003 - the
position of the hallmark on the inside of my wedding ring (fictitious) - the place referred to
in the phrase: “Fish collected at three miles north of the confluence of the Arve and the
Rhone” - here -> <- [the place between these two arrows in one of the reader's paper
copy of this document. Each copy constitutes a different place of this spot.] In First Order

Scope note: This class comprises concepts denoted by terms from
thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CIDOC CRM
classes. Instances of E55 Type represent concepts, in contrast to instances of E41 Appellation
which are used to name instances of CIDOC CRM classes. E55 Type provides an interface to
domain specific ontologies and thesauri. These can be represented in the CIDOC CRM as
subclasses of E55 Type, forming hierarchies of terms, i.e. instances of E55 Type linked via
P127 has broader term (has narrower term): E55 Type. Such hierarchies may be extended with
additional properties. Examples: - weight, length, depth [types for instances of E54
Dimension] - portrait, sketch, animation [types for instances of E36 Visual Item] - French,
English, German [types for instances of E56 Language] - excellent, good, poor [types for
instances of E3 Condition State] - Ford Model T, chop stick [types for instances of E22
Human-Made Object] - cave, doline, scratch [types for instances of E26 Physical Feature] -
poem, short story [types for instances of E33 Linguistic Object] - wedding, earthquake,
skirmish [types for instances of E5 Event] In First Order Logic: - E55(x) ⇒ E28(x)
E67 Birth
E67 Geburt
E67 Γέννηση
E67 Naissance
E67 Nascimento
E67 Рождение
E67 出生
E67
Scope note: This class comprises the births of human beings. E67
Birth is a biological event focussing on the context of people coming into life. (E63
Beginning of Existence comprises the coming into life of any living being.) Twins, triplets,
etc. are brought into life by the same instance of E67 Birth. The introduction of the E67
Birth event as a documentation element allows the description of a range of family
relationships in a simple model. Suitable extensions may describe more details and the
complexity of motherhood since the advent of modern medicine. In this model, the biological
father is not seen as a necessary participant in the E67 Birth. Examples: - the birth of
Alexander the Great (Stoneman, 2004) In First Order Logic: - E67(x) ⇒ E63(x)

Scope note: This class comprises the deaths of human beings. If a
person is killed, their death should be instantiated as E69 Death and as E7 Activity. The
death or perishing of other living beings should be documented as instances of E64 End of
Existence. Examples: - the murder of Julius Caesar (E69, E7) (Irwin, 1935) - the death of
Senator Paul Wellstone (Monast and Tao, 2002) In First Order Logic: - E69(x) ⇒ E64(x)

Scope note: This class comprises identifiable immaterial items, such
as poems, jokes, data sets, images, texts, multimedia objects, procedural prescriptions,
computer program code, algorithm or mathematical formulae, that have an objectively
recognizable structure and are documented as single units. The encoding structure known as a
“named graph” also falls under this class, so that each “named graph” is an instance of E73
Information Object. An instance of E73 Information Object does not depend on a specific
physical carrier, which can include human memory, and it can exist on one or more carriers
simultaneously. Instances of E73 Information Object of a linguistic nature should be declared
as instances of the E33 Linguistic Object subclass. Instances of E73 Information Object of a
documentary nature should be declared as instances of the E31 Document subclass. Conceptual
items such as types and classes are not instances of E73 Information Object, nor are ideas
without a reproducible expression. Examples: - image BM000038850.JPG from the Clayton
Herbarium in London (E31) (Natural History Museum, 2021) - E. A. Poe's “The Raven” (Poe, 1869)
- the movie “The Seven Samurai” by Akira Kurosawa (Mellen, 2002) - the text of Huray

Scope note: This class comprises any gatherings or organizations of
human individuals or groups that act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of
unifying relationship. In the wider sense this class also comprises official positions which
used to be regarded in certain contexts as one actor, independent of the current holder of the
office, such as the president of a country. In such cases, it may happen that the group never
had more than one member. A joint pseudonym (i.e. a name that seems indicative of an
individual but that is actually used as a persona by two or more people) is a particular case
of E74 Group. A gathering of people becomes an instance of E74 Group when it exhibits
organizational characteristics usually typified by a set of ideas or beliefs held in common,
or actions performed together. These might be communication, creating some common artifact, a
common purpose such as study, worship, business, sports, etc. Nationality can be modelled as
membership in an instance of E74 Group. Married couples and other concepts of family are
regarded as particular examples of E74 Group. Examples: - the Impressionists (Wilson, 1994) -
the Navajo (Correll, 1972) - the Greeks (Williams, 1993) - the peace protestors in New York
City on 15(th) February 2003 - Exxon-Mobil (Raymond, 2006) - King Solomon and his wives
(Thieberger, 1947) - the President of the Swiss Confederation - Nicolas Bourbaki [the
collective pseudonym of a group of mathematicians, predominantly French alumni of the École
normale supérieure] (Aczel, 2007) - Betty Crocker (Crocker, 2012) - Ellery Queen [Ellery Queen
is a pseudonym created in 1929 by American crime fiction writers Frederic Dannay and Manfred
Bennington Lee.] (Wheat, 2005) - Greenpeace - Paveprime Ltd - the National Museum of Denmark

E90 Symbolic Object
E90 Symbolisches Objekt

E90
Scope note: This class comprises identifiable symbols and any
aggregation of symbols, such as characters, identifiers, traffic signs, emblems, texts, data
sets, images, musical scores, multimedia objects, computer program code, or mathematical
formulae that have an objectively recognizable structure and that are documented as single
units. It includes sets of signs of any nature, which may serve to designate something, or to
communicate some propositional content. An instance of E90 Symbolic Object may or may not have
a specific meaning, for example an arbitrary character string. In some cases, the content of
an instance of E90 Symbolic Object may completely be represented by a serialized digital
content model, such as a sequence of ASCII-encoded characters, an XML or HTML document, or a
TIFF image. The property P3 has note and its subproperty P190 has symbolic content allow for
the description of this content model. In order to disambiguate which symbolic level is the
carrier of the meaning, the property P3.1 has type can be used to specify the encoding (e.g.
“bit”, “Latin character”, RGB pixel). Examples: - ‘ecognizabl’ - the “no-smoking” sign (E36) -
“BM000038850.JPG” (E41) [identifies a digital image] (Natural History Museum, 2021) - image
BM000038850.JPG from the Clayton Herbarium in London (E36) [depicts specimen of Verbesina
virginica] (Natural History Museum, 2021) - the distribution of form, tone and colour found on
Leonardo da Vinci’s painting named “Mona Lisa” in daylight (E36) - the Italian text of Dante’s
“Divina Commedia” as found in the authoritative critical edition “La Commedia secondo l’antica

between an original and a digitisation of the original by the use of techniques such as
digital photography, flatbed or infrared scanning. Digitisation is here seen as a process with
a mechanical, causal component rendering the spatial distribution of structural and optical
properties of the original and does not necessarily include any visual similarity identifiable
by human observation. Examples: - The digital file found at

digitisation of the original by the use of techniques such as digital photography, flatbed or
infrared scanning. Digitisation is here seen as a process with a mechanical, causal component
rendering the spatial distribution of structural and optical properties of the original and
does not necessarily include any visual similarity identifiable by human observation. Examples

Quantification: many to many, necessary (1,n:0,n) Scope note: This
property describes the spatial location of an instance of E4 Period. The related instance of
E53 Place should be seen as a wider approximation of the geometric area within which the
phenomena that characterise the period in question occurred, see below. P7 took place at
(witnessed) does not convey any meaning other than spatial positioning (frequently on the
surface of the earth). For example, the period “Révolution française” can be said to have
taken place in “France in 1789”; the “Victorian” period may be said to have taken place in
“Britain from 1837-1901” and its colonies, as well as other parts of Europe and North America.
An instance of E4 Period can take place at multiple non-contiguous, non-overlapping locations.
Any place where something happened includes the spatial projection of the happening given in
the same geometric reference system. For instance, HMS Victory, as place of Lord Nelson's
dying, includes the location of his body relative to the hull of HMS Victory at his time of
death as the most precise location of his death. By the definition of P161 has spatial
projection, an instance of E4 Period takes place on all its spatial projections to respective
reference systems, that is, instances of E53 Place. Therefore, this property implies the more
fully developed path from E4 Period through P161 has spatial projection, E53 Place, P89 falls
within to E53 Place, where both places are defined in the same geometric reference system. The
relation between an instance of E53 Place and its reference system can conveniently be
documented via the property P157 is at rest relative to (provides reference space for).
Something that has happened at a given place can also be considered to have happened at a
smaller place within it: for example, it is reasonable to say Caesar’s murder took place in
Rome, but also on the Forum Romanum, and more precisely in the Curia. It is characteristic for
different historical sources to use varying precision in such statements, without being in
contradiction with each other. This may be due to lack of knowledge or to the relevance of the
precision for the purpose of the statement. In information integration, the more precise
statement improves the overall knowledge. Examples: - The period “Révolution française” (E4)
took place at the area covered by France in 1789 (E53). (Bertaud, 2004) In First Order Logic:

Work
Scope note: This class comprises distinct intellectual ideas
conveyed in artistic and intellectual creations, such a poems, stories or musical
compositions. A Work is the outcome of an intellectual process of one or more persons.
Inherent to the notion of work is the existence of recognisable realizations of the work in
the form of one or more expressions. Works are often regarded as finished and discrete e.g.
when declared as such by the creator of the work or based on the elaboration or logical
coherence of its content. However, works may be recognized as existing but unfinished e.g. if
the creators deliberately or accidentally never explicitly finished a particular Expression
but have left behind partial expressions. In the absence of explicit information about the
initial conception, which is rarely available, the first expression created constitutes
witness of the beginning of existence of a Work. A Work can evolve over time, such as through
revised editions. A Work may be elaborated by one or more Actors simultaneously, in parallel,
or over time. Additional expressions of a Work can continue to be created over time. The
boundaries of a Work have nothing to do with the value of the intellectual achievement but
only with the dominance of a concept. The main purpose of this class is to enable bringing
together intellectually equivalent Expressions in order to display to a user all available
alternatives of the same intellectual or artistic content. Examples: - Agatha Christie’s
‘Murder on the Orient Express’ [novel] - Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein, or, The Modern
Prometheus’ [novel] - Ursula K. Le Guin’s ‘The Earthsea trilogy’ [set of novels] - Ursula K.
Le Guin’s ‘The Tombs of Atuan’ [novel which is part of ‘The Earthsea trilogy’] - Homer’s

F27
Work Creation
Scope note: This class comprises activities by which instances of F1
Work come into existence. An instance of F27 Work Creation can serve to document the period a
work was coming into existence and the circumstances of it, when these are known. An instance
of F27 Work Creation marks the initial creation of an instance of F1 Work through expressions
or other externalisations that are sufficiently elaborated so that the characteristic
conceptual identity of the work could be recognized as existing. In many cases this will
coincide with the first known complete externalisation of an expression of the work. In other
cases, the initial creation of an instance of F1 Work may be inferred from multiple, or later,
expressions or other forms of evidence. For instance, commissioning of a work may explicitly
be agreed on after the presentation of an already complete and detailed elaboration of the
work that was not made public. Performances may be prior to written expressions, as in the
case of Shakespeare’s works. The work, as an intellectual construction, may evolve from its
initial creation onwards, until the last known expression of it. An instance of E39 Actor with
which a work is associated through the chain of properties F1 Work. R16i was created by: F27
Work Creation. P14 carried out by (performed): E39 Actor corresponds to the notion of the
“creator” of the work. In the situation where an expression of one instance of F1 Work serves
as source material for the creation of the first expression of a new instance of F1 Work, the
direct relationship between the works is indicated using the property R2 is derivative of (has
derivative) between the two instances of F1 Work. The link to the specific source expression
is indicated with the property P16 used specific object (was used for) using the path: F1

F28 Expression Creation
F28
Expression Creation
Scope note: This class comprises activities that result in instances
of F2 Expression coming into existence. An instance of F2 Expression is considered to be
created when it is captured on a carrier other than the creator’s brain. Although F2
Expression is an abstract entity, a conceptual object, the creation of an expression
inevitably also affects the physical world: when you scribble the first draft of a poem on a
sheet of paper, you produce an instance of F3 Manifestation and an instance of F5 Item.
F28 Expression Creation is a subclass of E12 Production because the recording of the
expression causes a physical modification of the E18 Physical Thing that serves as the
carrier. The creation of an instance of F2 Expression coincides with the creation of the first
instance of F3 Manifestation that R4 embodies (is embodied in) this instance of F2 Expression.
The P2 has type (is type of) property can be used to specify the type of the instance of
F28 Expression Creation (i.e., activities such as translating, revising, or arranging music
are types of creation process). The type of the process is distinct from the type of result
even though the typology frequently used for instances of the resulting F2 Expressions may
imply the category of the instance of the F28 Expression Creation. An instance of F28
Expression Creation may use as source material one or more specific instances of F2
Expression. When the source expression is documented this is also expressed by the property
R76 is derivative of (has derivative). Examples: - Agatha Christie writing the original
manuscript for ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ - Elisabeth van Bebber creating the German
translation of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ - Angela Hewitt performing the ‘Goldberg
Variations’ at St. Thomas Church (Leipzig Germany) in November 2020 - Angela Hewitt performing
the ‘Goldberg Variations’ in Christuskirche (Berlin) on 14-17 December 2015 (for a CD
production) - Beethoven scripting the original score for the 9(th) symphony - Jonathan Del Mar

F2 Expression
F2
Expression
Scope note: This class comprises the intellectual or artistic
realisations of Works in the form of identifiable immaterial objects, such as texts, poems,
jokes, musical or choreographic notations, movement pattern, sound pattern, images, multimedia
objects, or any combination of such forms. The substance of F2 Expression is signs. An
Expression is the outcome of the intellectual or creative process of realizing a Work.
Subsequent expressions conveying the same work may be created over time. Expressions do not
depend on a specific physical carrier and can exist on one or more carriers simultaneously. As
far as bibliographic practice is concerned, only instances of F2 Expression that are
externalised on physical carriers other than both the creator’s brain and an auditor’s brain
are taken into account. The form of F2 Expression is an inherent characteristic of the F2
Expression. Differences in form imply different Expressions (e.g., from text to spoken word, a
transcript of a recording). Similarly, differences in language or means of performance imply
different Expressions (e.g., translations or arrangements for different instruments). Thus, if
a text is revised or modified, the result is considered to be a new F2 Expression. While
theoretically any change in signs will result in a new Expression, conventionally the context
and use will determine the rules for distinguishing among expressions. An instance of F2
Expression which includes spoken or written text may be multiply instantiated as an instance
of E33 Linguistic Object. This allows for the association of the E56 Language of the text with
the instance of F2 Expression by using the property P72 has language (is language of).
Examples: - the original text (in English) by Agatha Christie for her novel ‘Murder on the
Orient Express’ - the German text of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (as translated by
Elisabeth van Bebber and published with the title ‘Mord im Orientexpress’) - the text of the
abridged English version of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (as published by HarperCollins) -

Manifestation Creation
Scope note: This class comprises the activities of selecting,
arranging and presenting one or more instances of F2 Expression on a carrier or other
persistent presentation means with the purpose of communicating it to some public. It includes
the specification of the presentation as to sensory impression (such as visual appearance or
audio rendition). Examples: - the process of creating the publication ‘Murder on the Orient
Express / Agatha Christie’, published by HarperCollins in 2017, including deciding the format,
typesetting the text, designing the cover and other features of the publication - the process
of making the HTML-version of the English text of Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ (translated by S. H.

F3 Manifestation
F3
Manifestation
Scope note: This class comprises products rendering one or more
Expressions. A Manifestation is defined by both the overall content and the form of its
presentation. The substance of F3 Manifestation is not only signs, but also the manner in
which they are presented to be consumed by users, including the kind of media adopted. An F3
Manifestation is the outcome of a publication process where one or more F2 Expressions are
prepared for public dissemination, but it may also be a unique form created directly on some
material carrier without the intent of being formally published. An instance of F3
Manifestation typically incorporates one or more instances of F2 Expression representing a
distinct logical content and all additional input by a publisher such as text layout and cover
design. Additionally an F3 Manifestation can be identified by the physical features for the
medium of distribution, if applicable. For example, publications in the form of hard-cover and
paperback editions would be two distinct instances of F3 Manifestation, even though authorial
and editorial content are otherwise identical in both publications. In the case of industrial
products such as printed books or music CDs, but also digital material, an instance of F3
Manifestation can be regarded as the prototype for all copies of it. In these cases, an
instance of F3 Manifestation specifies all of the features or traits that instances of F5 Item
display in order to be copies of a particular publication. In the case of industrial products,
instances of F3 Manifestation are also instances of E99 Product Type, normally nowadays
identified by characteristic identifiers such as ISBN numbers. Examples: - the publication

instance of F3 Manifestation. The manifestation formats the expression(s) in the way they are
to be presented to some public, including specifying the intended sensory impression (such as
visual appearance or audio rendition). Examples of the inverse property: - The publication
‘Murder on the Orient Express / Agatha Christie’, published by Collins Crime Club in 1934 (F3)
embodies the original text in English by Agatha Christie (F2). - The publication ‘Mord im
Orientexpress: ein Hercule-Poirot-Roman / Agatha Christie’, published by Deutscher Bücherbund
in 1975 (F3) embodies the German translation by Elisabeth van Bebber (F2). - The publication
‘The Illustrated Odyssey’, published by Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd in 1980 (F3) embodies the
translated text by E. V. Rieu (F2), the introductory text by Jacquetta Hawkes (F2) and
photographs by Tim Mercer (F2). - The publication entitled ‘Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho: 60th
Anniversary Edition’ which was released in 2020 (F3), embodies the original cut of the movie
(F2) and the censored version that was released in Britain (F2). - The publication identified
by ISBN ‘2-222-00835-2’ (F3) embodies the text of Marin Mersenne’s ‘Harmonie universelle’
(F2). - The CD publication ‘Bach Goldberg Variations’ published by Hyperion Records in 2016
(F3), embodies Angela Hewitt’s performances of Bach’s ‘Goldberg Variations’ recorded in
Christuskirche (Berlin) on 14-17 December 2015 (F2). In First Order Logic of the inverse
property: - R4(x,y) ⇒ F3(x) - R4(x,y) ⇒ F2(y) - R4(x,y) ⇒ P165(x,y)
This class comprises references to – usually: real – identifiable
objects of any kind. It is not restricted to non-fictional texts resp. images depicting real
life objects or events, but can be most easily applied there. The CIDOC CRM property P67
refers to is recommended to establish the link to the referred to entity. There are two
options with slightly different semantic and alignment implications: P67 refers to can link
this INT18 Reference (or any other feature) to the external entity, which would make the INT18
Reference an E89 Propositional Object (due to P67's domain and range). However, this is in
conflict with the conceptual similarity of the F4 Feature and its subclasses to CIDOC CRM's
E55 Type. INTRO's suggested – but in no way prescribed – solution is to instead attach P67
refers to to the INT2 Actualization of Feature linked to INT18 Reference. The scope of this
class also includes references to other images/texts, if one wants to model an interrelation
this way.
INT18 Reference
The INT21 TextPassage is a means of modelling an identifiable part
of an E73 Information Object or its subclasses – without that part being removed from its
source Information Object. Examples: – The words 'Abandon all hope ye who enter here' from
Canto III of Dante's Inferno. – The first four lines of Rilke's poem "Archaischer Torso
Apollos" – The last item on a shopping list. The skos:broadMatch states that the INT21
TextPassage can be regarded as an oa:SpecificResource in the sense that it is a section of a
resource. The skos:broadMatch between R41 hasLocation and oa:hasSelector indicates that by
replacing R41 hasLocation with oa:hasSelector, multiple selector options from the Web
Annotation Ontology can be utilized to specify the INT21 TextPassage's
location.
INT21 Text Passage
The fact that a text or an image shows – in its own specific way – a
certain feature (which itself is an abstract concept and takes form in many texts/images), e.
g., a motif, an atmosphere, a theme, a figure of speech. Examples: – the specific
actualization of the motif of patricide in Sophokles' "Ödipus Rex". – the specific
actualization of the Faust-subject in Goethe's "Faust". – the specific actualization of the
iambic pentameter in Rilke's "Archaischer Torso Apollos". – the specific actualization of the
Ophelia-character in John Everett Millais' painting "Ophelia". Notes: The INT2 Actualization
of Feature can be subject to a I2 Belief as modelled in CRMinf, used like the CRMinf class I4
Proposition Set.
INT2 Actualization of Feature
This class comprises the abstract notion of a relationship between
texts resp. parts thereof. It is not identical to, e. g., a quote, but a quote can be
considered a typical case. However, the class does not demand any specific theoretical
prerequisites for the relation (like the author's intention, identical wording, etc.), but
encompasses relations based on all kinds of theoretical frameworks, including scholarly
('pastiche'), legal ('plagiarism'), or very general notions ('quote', 'allusion'). Every INT31
Intertextual Relation has at least two related entities, which are modelled as texts (on any
ontological level, including parts thereof) or INT2 Actualizations of Features on these texts.
An INT3 Interrelation is possibly identified in an INT2 Actualization of an INT Interpretation
and further defined by an INT11 TypeOfInterrelation, or maybe, more precisely, an INT15
Intertextuality in Intertextuality Theories. The skos:broadMatch to oa:Annotation indicates
that stating the existence of an intertextual relation can be seen as a kind of annotation
made to resources, in this case: at least two, the related entities texts (on any ontological
level, including parts thereof).
INT31 Intertextual Relation
INT Character
The result of a interpretative act, possibly: as perceived in
research literature. An interpretation can identify references or actualizations or the like.
A number of interpretations can together recreate the structure of, e. g., a research paper.
Accordingly, apart from linking INT Interpretations to the subjects of the interpretation,
like intertextual relations or textual features, they can be linked to each other via R9 has
subsequent feature resp. R9i has preceding feature. Examples: – the statement that Umberto
Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' features a detective character. – the statement that Umberto
Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' contains references to Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes'. –
the statement that Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' is set in the 14th century. – the
conclusion that Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose' belongs to the genre 'postmodern crime
novel'.
INT Interpretation
INT Motif
INT Plot
INT Topic
INT Topos
Links an INT3 Interrelation to the entity referred to in the
relationship (a text or image on any ontological level or a feature actualized in the text
resp. image in question).
R12 has referred to entity
R12i is referred to entity
Links an INT3 Interrelation to a referring entity (a text or image
on any ontological level or a feature actualized in the text resp. image in
question).
R13 has referring entity
R13i is referring entity
Links the specific INT2 Actualization of Feature to the (abstract
concept of the) feature it actualizes, an INT4 Feature.
R17 actualizes feature
R17i feature actualized in
Links a text or an image (on any ontological level) or an INT2
Actualization of Feature to an INT2 Actualization of Feature found on it. (Actualizations
found on actualizations – this occurs in cases where, e. g., the actualization of the feature
INT Individual Character can be read as the actualization of the feature INT Character Type or
INT18 Reference.)
R18 shows actualization
R18i actualization found on
Links an INT2 Actualization of Feature (that is possibly, but not
necessarily, specified by a link to the features INT Identification or INT Interpretation) or
a text on different levels of granularity to the INT3 Interrelation or the INT2 Actualization
of Feature it identifies.
R21 identifies
R21i is identified by
Links an INT4 Feature to an INT3 Interrelation it provides the
similarity for, the similarity being the basis for the detection of the INT3 Interrelation.
The property states that an INT3 Interrelation is based on a similarity, i. e. the
actualization of the same INT4 Feature in two different texts/images; it constitutes an
abbreviation of the modelling of two INT2 Actualizations of Feature of the same F4 Feature in
the respective texts/images. The term 'similarity' is to be understood in the widest possible
way.
R22 provides similarity for relation
R22i relation is based on similarity
Links any INT3 Interrelation to a text or image (on any ontological
level) or INT2 Actualization of Feature that is part of the INT3 Interrelation. The
skos:broadMatch states that this property is a more specific version of oa:hasTarget in the
sense that the INT3 Interrelation can be seen as an annotation, the texts/images linked by
this relationship as their targets.
R24 has related entity
R24i is related entity
R30 has text passage
Links (usually, exceptions are easily conceivable) a text, like a
work or an expression, to an INT21 Text Passage from that text, e. g., a book to a passage on
page three of this book.
