E80 Part Removal in Version 5.1.2

Subclass of :
E11 Modification
Superclass of: No superclasses found
Scope Note:
Scope note: This class comprises the activities that result in an instance of E18 Physical Thing being decreased by the removal of a part.
 
Typical scenarios include the detachment of an accessory, the removal of a component or part of a composite object, or the deaccessioning of an object from a curated E78 Collection. If the E80 Part Removal results in the total decomposition of the original object into pieces, such that the whole ceases to exist, the activity should instead be modelled as an E81 Transformation, i.e. a simultaneous destruction and production. In cases where the part removed has no discernible identity prior to its removal but does have an identity subsequent to its removal, the activity should be regarded as both E80 Part Removal and E12 Production. This class of activities forms a basis for reasoning about the history, and continuity of identity over time, of objects that are removed from other objects, such as precious gemstones being extracted from different items of jewelry, or cultural artifacts being deaccessioned from different museum collections over their lifespan.
 
Examples:
  • the removal of the engine from my car
  • the disposal of object number 1976:234 from the collection
