Talking about scope of usage and date of usage of a name, we observed that these attributes indicate the context in which a name is used - who uses this identifier and what for? We conclude that the scope of usage and the date of usage do not pertain to the names themselves but to activities dealing with the names. The question to CRM is "do we need a generalized class to identify usage?"
Paris 14/3/2007
We came back to the scope of usage and date of usage of a name (motivated by the mapping of FRAD, attributes of name: dates of usage, scope of usage ) and our previous remark that these pertain to the activities dealing with the names and not the names themselves. Under this view we discuss if we need a generalized class in CRM to identify usage?
We observed that there is nothing in CRM that makes it clear that a name is connected with a given time span, clear. We made the following schema:
Edinburg 10/7/2007
We need a name use activity.
Edinburgh 10/7/2007
We clarified that the reason why we move Appellation to Thing was for making use of P16 used specific object (was used for). Since Appellation is regarded as a thing there is no need for this specific class. We decided the following actions:
- To add an example to E7 Activity about the use of a name (MD will do it)
- To write a FAQ about the use of a name (MD will do it)
- Since there is a difference between something being present and something being used, we decided that we should add something about the name use in the scope note of P16 (MD will do it).

E7 Activity
| Subclass of: | E5 Event |
| Superclass of: | E8 Acquisition E9 Move E10 Transfer of Custody E11 Modification E13 Attribute Assignment E65Creation E66 Formation E85 Joining E86 Leaving |
|
Scope note: |
This class comprises actions intentionally carried out by instances of E39 Actor that result in changes of state in the cultural, social, or physical systems documented. This notion includes complex, composite and long-lasting actions such as the building of a settlement or a war, as well as simple, short-lived actions such as the opening of a door. |

Scope note: |
This property describes the use of material or immaterial things in a way essential to the performance or the outcome of an E7 Activity. This property typically applies to tools, instruments, moulds, raw materials and items embedded in a product. It implies that the presence of the object in question was a necessary condition for the action. For example, the activity of writing this text required the use of a computer. An immaterial thing can be used if at least one of its carriers is present. For example, the software tools on a computer. Another example is the use of a particular name by a particular group of people over some span to identify a thing, such as a settlement. In this case, the physical carriers of this name are at least the people understanding its use. |
