According to the International Guidelines for Museum Object Information: The CIDOC Information Categories, Subject depicted information primarily supports Access. Without this information it is not possible to provide even rudimentary access to pictorial collections beyond that required for accountability purposes. Subject information also supports the identification of objects and should record  the following information categories.

1. Subject depicted
2. Subject depicted description
3. In the CIDOC CRM depiction of a ‘place’ is interpreted as depiction of physical features on the surface of earth (E27 Site) which are found at a location (E53) for some time period. A place in the sense of the CIDOC CRM is immaterial and cannot be depicted, except from geometric area  representations.

In cultural heritage documentation, the Taxonomic Discourse diagram plays a crucial role in describing how objects are classified and categorized within a particular cultural context. It helps in understanding the relationships between different types of objects and how they are organized based on their characteristics and attributes. This diagram is particularly relevant when documenting collections that involve taxonomic systems, such as natural history specimens, ethnographic objects, or archaeological artifacts.

In the CIDOC CRM ontology, the Taxonomic Discourse diagram provides a structured way to represent information about the classification and categorization of objects. The key properties included in this diagram help to define the relationships between objects and their taxonomic contexts.

- P2 has type: This property links an instance of an object to its specific type. For example, a specific vase from ancient Mesopotamia can be linked to the type "Mesopotamian ceramic vessel."
 
- P41 classified: This property establishes the relationship between an instance of an object and the classification system it belongs to. For instance, a traditional Japanese tea set can be classified under the system of Japanese tea ceremony utensils.
 
- P42 assigned: This property indicates the assignment of an instance of an object to a specific category within a classification system. For example, a Roman coin can be assigned to the category of "gold coins" within the Roman numismatics classification system.
 
- P94 has created: This property links an instance of an object to the event or activity that created it. For instance, a medieval manuscript can be linked to the scribe who created it.
 
- P135 created type: This property specifies the type of an instance of an object created during a particular event. For example, a cave painting can be created during a "ritual ceremony" event.
 
- P136 was based on: This property indicates that one instance of an object is based on another. For example, a modern painting can be based on the style of a famous ancient Chinese painting.
 
- P137 exemplifies: This property shows that an instance of an object exemplifies a particular concept or category. For example, a Greek sculpture can exemplify the ideal of beauty in ancient Greek art.

By understanding and utilizing these key properties within the Taxonomic Discourse diagram, cultural heritage professionals can effectively model and document the taxonomic relationships between objects in a standardized and ontologically sound manner, using the CIDOC CRM ontology.
