Dear all,
In the 50th joint meeting of the CIDOC CRM SIG and SO/TC46/SC4/WG9; 43nd FRBR – CIDOC CRM Harmonization meeting, the SIG decided that F54 Utilized Information Carrier is no longer an issue of interest for the LRMoo group and will become an issue for CRMdig.

I argue that D13 in CRMdig 5.0 is sufficient:
D13 Digital Information Carrier
SubClass Of: E22 Human-Made Object
SuperClass Of:
-
Scope Note:
This class comprises all instances of E84 Information Carrier that are explicitly designed to be used as persistent digital physical carriers of instances of D1 Digital Object. An instance of D13 Digital Information Carrier may or may not contain information, e.g., an empty diskette.Examples:
…
In First Order Logic:
D13(x) ⇒ E22(x)Properties:
L19 stores (is stored on): D1 Digital Object
I argue that F54 Utilized Information Carrier is also no longer an issue of interest for CRMdig, because instances of D13 will be used with links to their content, if any. A discourse that would need to distinguish by specific classes between sets of empty Information Carriers, read-only carriers or reused beyond the property associating the content is not expected.
The issue should be closed.
Best,
Martin
