|
||
* Scope note: This class comprises extents in space, in particular on the surface of the earth, in the pure sense of
|
||
* physics: independent from temporal phenomena and matter.
|
||
*
|
||
* 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. A Place can be determined by
|
||
* combining a frame of reference and a location with respect to this frame. It may be identified by one or
|
||
* more instances of E44 Place Appellation.
|
||
*
|
||
* 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, we 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 – 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 object can serve as a frame of reference for E53 Place determination. The model foresees the
|
||
* notion of a "section" of an E19 Physical Object as a valid E53 Place determination.
|
||
*
|
||
* Examples:
|
||
* - the extent of the UK in the year 2003
|
||
* - the position of the hallmark on the inside of my wedding ring
|
||
* - the place referred to in the phrase: “Fish collected at three miles north of the confluence of the
|
||
* Arve and the Rhone”
|
||
* - here -> <-
|
||
*
|
||
* In First Order Logic:
|
||
* E53(x) ⊃ E1(x)
