Haus der Kulturen der Welt →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.
Haus der Kulturen der Welt (appellation in German) →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.
