Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Worlding institution entity: E74 Group

Class E74 Group is used here to model groups of people who act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of unifying relationship. A unifying relationship or characteristic may be observed and assigned externally but it is not necessarily a lived experience or observed from inside the group. As such our perception of persons being part of a group may not reflect the persons’ perception.

Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Worlding appellation entity: E41 Appellation

Class E41 Appellation is used here to model names of things including places and people. The scope note of E41 Appellation explains that names are not considered as meaningful but as conventions. A name is used by convention even if there is a meaning attached to it. It is possible that names mentioned in the WPC database also hold a meaning which is significant for the thing they refer to as part of its identity. If this is the case, then this class and content type cannot capture that meaning.

Class E53 Place is used here to model geographical areas and locations. Mapping this content type to this class only models place based on the immaterial, mathematical area as defined with a frame of reference and as such it is not appropriate to express the physicality of space which is important. Also this class does not include temporality of places which is critical in a cultural context. A different model could make use of class ‘E27 Site’ which relates to the mathematical notion of E53 Places through property ‘P156 occupies’. That alternative solution is more complex but models place more accurately albeit using more than one class. Another problem with the concept of geometrical place is the fact that boundaries which do not exist in the physical world are needed to define it. This brings up questions around the agency of the people creating these boundaries, naming them and the problem of abstraction in maps which is reductive.
