Dear all,

there was an issue opened here:

https://cidoc-crm.org/Issue/ID-576-about-...-entity-of-type

The issue under discussion was whether we could / should make additions to
the CIDOC CRM to handle common cases of 'aboutness' so that there was a
standard way of doing it, rather than relying on external thesauri and / or
specific modelling tricks like types of type to do the work.

While it seemed like a nice idea, it is difficult to identify what would be
the correct subset of 'things of type' which would warrant specific
modelling constructs and not lead us down a rabbit hole of generating many
properties or types for this one specific problem.

Therefore, after discussion, Martin and I propose we close this issue as a
good idea, but without sufficient insight to bring to a reliable
monotonically stable ontological conclusion.

Best,

George
