Scope Note: This class comprises all persistent physical items with a relatively stable form, man-made or natural. Depending on the existence of natural boundaries of such things, the CRM distinguishes the instances of E19 Physical Object from instances of E26 Physical Feature, such as holes, rivers, pieces of land etc. Most instances of E19 Physical Object can be moved (if not too heavy), whereas features are integral to the surrounding matter. The CRM is generally not concerned with amounts of matter in fluid or gaseous states. Examples: the Cullinan Diamond (E19) the in Crete (E26) cave “Ideon Andron” the Mona Lisa (E22) Properties: has condition (condition of): Condition State consists of (is incorporated in): Material is composed of (forms part of): Physical Thing has former or current keeper (is former or current keeper of): Actor has current keeper (is current keeper of): Actor has former or current owner (is former or current owner of): Actor P52 has current owner (is current owner of): E39 Actor P53 has former or current location (is former or current location of): E53 Place P58 has section definition (defines section): E46 Section Definition has section (is located on or within): Place E19 Physical Object Subclass of: Physical Thing Superclass of: E20 Biological Object Man-Made Object Scope note: This class comprises items of a material nature that are units for documentation and have physical boundaries that separate them completely in an objective way from other objects. The class also includes all aggregates of objects made for functional purposes of whatever kind, independent of physical coherence, such as a set of chessmen. Typically, instances of E19 Physical Object can be moved (if not too heavy). In some contexts, such objects, except for aggregates, are also called (Smith “bona fide objects” & Varzi, 2000, pp.401-420), i.e. naturally defined objects. The decision as to what is documented as a complete item, rather than by its parts or components, may be a purely administrative decision or may be a result of the order in which the item was acquired. Examples: John Smith Aphrodite of Milos the Palace of Knossos the Cullinan Diamond Apollo 13 at the time of launch Properties:
