Scope Note:

This class comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CIDOC CRM classes. Instances of E55 Type represent concepts in contrast to instances of E41 Appellation which are used to name instances of CIDOC CRM classes.

E55 Type is the CIDOC CRM’s interface to domain specific ontologies and thesauri. These can be represented in the CIDOC CRM as subclasses of E55 Type, forming hierarchies of terms, i.e., instances of E55 Type linked via P127 has broader term (has narrower term): E55 Type. Such hierarchies may be extended with additional properties.

Examples:

weight, length, depth [types for instances of E54]
portrait, sketch, animation [types for instances of E36]
French, English, German (E56)
excellent, good, poor [types for instances of E3]
Ford Model T, chop stick [types for instances of E22]
cave, doline, scratch [types for instances of E26]
poem, short story [types for instances of E33]
wedding, earthquake, skirmish [types for instances of E5]
