Issue 70

Title Relationship between P15 took into account and P17 was motivation for
Background P17 "was motivation of (motivated)" and "P15 took into account" seem to share some meaning. This should be clarified.
Old Proposal

I propose a new and more general property:

Pnn Activity - was influenced by (influenced) Persistent Item

This would subsume:

P15 Activity - took into account (was taken into account by) Conceptual
Object
P17 Activity - was motivated by (motivated) Man-Made Stuff (why not
Stuff?) (issue 79)

It would also resolve issue 79: Change Property Name P17 was motivation
for to was motivated by

TG 23/6/2002

Current Proposal

redefine range of:
P15 Activity - took into account (was taken into account by): Persistent Item
I take "took into account" as synonym to "influenced by", as the Actor of the
activity "must let it influence her/him".

redefine range of:
P17 Activity - was motivated by (motivated): Stuff ,

declare P16,P17 as subproperty of P15.

This complements the existing links:
P19 Activity - was intended use of (was made for) Man-Made Stuff
P16 Activity - used specific object (was used for) Stuff (issue 96)

I propose to either add:
Pxx Activity - was influenced by (influenced): E7 Activity

and declare
P18 Activity - was motivation of (motivated) : E7 Activity subproperty of Pxx

Or to generalize P18 into "was influenced by".


The link P20 corresponds to P19:
P20 Activity - had specific purpose (was purpose of) : E7 Activity
(intention, future)

Do we need an equivalent to P16 ?:
Pyy Activity - continued (was continued by) : E7 Activity

To my understanding, this is all that could be said about
influence between activity and stuff, and between activities.
It seems to me complete and symmetric.

MD 26/6/2002

Outcome P15 Activity was influenced by (influenced) E1 Entity

P17 Activity was motivated by (motivated) E1 Entity
P19 Activity was intended use of (was made for) Man-made Stuff
P16 Activity used specific object (was used for) Stuff

P20 Activity had specific purpose (was purpose of) E7 Activity
Pxx Activity continued (was continued for ) E7 Activity

Delete P18 Activity was motivation of (motivated) E1 Entity because it is subsumed by P17.

P16, P17, P19, P20 and Pxx are sub-properties of P15.

Scope note comment (for Pxx): If one activity is continued by another it would be possible to regard both activities as part of a larger one.

Proposal accepted, Copenhagen 3/7/2002.
