Dear SIG,

The scope note for E24 says,

"This class comprises all persistent physical items of any size that are
purposely created by human activity. This class comprises, besides
others, *human-made
objects, such as a sword*, and human-made features, such as rock art. For
example, a “cup and ring” carving on bedrockis regarded as an instance of
E24 Physical Human-Made Thing."

Is this right/misleading?

If it includes objects then why can't they be moved? The note includes
items that might be considered objects - they are usually defined in E22 or
E18  -  items which have "physical boundaries that separate them completely
in an objective way from other objects."  This explains the
difference between a carving on a wall and a movable object. If the carving
is cut out of the wall then it gets sound physical boundaries and can be
moved.

Cheers,

Dominic
