Group - Census Sematic Data Model (CSDM) Documentation

Group

Author: Denitsa Nenova, George Bruseker

Version: 1.0

The Group reference data model provides a list of standard descriptors (fields) that are typically present in the description of a Group or institution in cultural heritage data systems. The intention of this reference model is to provide a consolidated, high-level formal structure comprising the most commonly reused descriptors for a Group.

	Name	URI
Root Ontology Node	E74 Group	https://cidoc-crm.org/Entity/E74-Group/version-7.1.1
Type Differentiator	N/A	N/A

The Group model allows the documentation of the following kinds of information:

Information Category	Information Collections	Description
Names and Classifications	Names/Alternative Names/Identifiers/Type	The researcher can document various names and classification regarding the Group.
Existence	Birth/Death	The researcher can document the events related to the birth and death of the Group.
Description	Description	The researcher can document various free-text descriptions of the Group.
Documentation	Citation

Group Names and Classifications

The attribution of names and types to things, including Groups, is a basic human activity. The disambiguation of Group is aided by the understanding of the various names and identifiers that have been given to a Group at different moments in time. Moreover, classifications such as Group type and legal status can help in identifying and studying Groups over time.

Filed ID	Name	Description	Data Type	CRM Path
fie_1	Group Identifier	This field is used to record an identifier attributed to the documented Group.	String	--> P1 --> E42[1_1] --> P190 --> rdfs:Literal

Group Existence

Of essential importance in identifying and tracking Groups is to know when they came into existence and if they have gone out of existence. For this reason, we have clustered descriptors relevant to such information into a common ‘existence’ category. These are described in the table below.

Filed ID	Name	Description	Data Type	CRM Path
fie_79	Group Earliest Formation Date	This field is used to record the earliest possible date for the formation of the documented Group or institution.	Date	--> P95i --> E66[79_1] --> P4 --> E52[79_2] --> P82a --> xsd:dateTime
fie_80	Group Latest Formation Date	This field is used to record the latest possible date for the formation of the documented Group or institution.	Date	--> P95i --> E66[79_1] --> P4 --> E52[79_2] --> P82b --> xsd:dateTime
fie_81	Group Formation Location	This field is used to record the place of formation of the documented Group or institution.	Reference Model [Location]	--> P95i --> E66[79_1] --> P7 --> E53[81_1]
fie_83	Group Earliest Dissolution Date	This field is used to record the earliest possible date for the dissolution of the documented Group or institution.	Date	--> P99i --> E68[83_1] --> P4 --> E52[83_2] --> P82a --> xsd:dateTime
fie_84	Group Latest Dissolution Date	This field is used to record the latest possible date for the dissolution of the documented Group or institution.	Date	--> P99i --> E68[83_1] --> P4 --> E52[83_2] --> P82b --> xsd:dateTime
fie_85	Group Dissolution Location	This field is used to record the place at which the dissolution of the documented Group occurred.	Reference Model [Location]	--> P99i --> E68[83_1] --> P7 --> E53[85_1]
