Built Work Reference Data Model

Author: George Bruseker, Nicola Carboni

Version: 2.0

The built work reference data model provides a list of standard fields that are generally present in the general description of a built work in a national built heritage data register. Built work is taken here in the sense of a - typically - immovable building, or significant individual part thereof, made for some human use-function such as habitation. The fuller documentation of a built work would establish the relation of the physical work to the series of intellectual and social processes related to the production of such works, such as architectural plans, meetings, construction episodes, detailed use and modification history, specific topological relations and so on. This reference model does not intend to cover such specificities but to remain at a more general level, providing a consolidated, high-level reference data model of most commonly used descriptors for a built work and to provide for these, in turn, a set of standard semantic mappings to the CIDOC CRM. This level of modelling is seen as a necessary basic reference point on which to build more complex documentation. This reference data model aims to serve a number of functions including:

  1. to support the creation of semantic data entry forms that will create ‘born semantic’ data streams

  2. to serve as a reference guide in designing eventually compatible data structures for feeding into larger aggregations of Cultural Heritage data

  3. to guide mapping processes of extant data sources with common mapping patterns

  4. to be adopted by institutions acting as aggregation hubs in order to create consistent re-expressions of extant reference information in a common CIDOC-CRM based expression.

Sources

The decision on which fields to represent was based on a survey of significant, extant data sources of interest to the project. These were:

Model Sections Description

The fields used to describe a built work can be functionally grouped according to higher level units in order to allow for an easier approach to the entry and navigation of the data by information category. The information categories identified have been enumerated in the following table.

# Name Function
1 Names and Classifications This category gathers together descriptors used for assigning names and types to a built work, both at present and historically.
2 Description This category is used to gather together information regarding significant descriptions given of a built work by known authors/sources.
3 Parthood This category is used to bring together information relevant to the mereological relations between a built work and its parts.
4 Existence This category gathers together descriptors relevant to the tracking of the construction and destruction of a built work.
5 Actor Relations This category gathers together descriptors relevant to tracking the significant relations between the built work and known actors. Primary of such relations are those of the architect and builders of the built work.
6 Substance This category gathers together descriptors used for stating the physical constitutional features of the documented built work.
7 Aboutness This category gathers together descriptors used to record the subject of representation of the documented physical object
8 Events This category gathers together information about significant documented events that a built work typically may go through in the course of it existence.
9 Location This category gathers together information regarding the present location of a documented built work.
10 Designation Status This category gathers together information regarding the designated statuses assigned to a built work.
11 Rights This category gathers together information regarding the rights that a right holder holds over the built work.
12 Documentation This category gathers together different descriptors that provide reference information with regards to a built work.

Names and Classifications

The attribution of names and types to built work, as with other entities, is a basic human activity. A chief factor in disambiguating built works lies in understanding the various names and identifiers that have been given to them at different moments in their individual histories. Likewise, additional classifiers of the built work, such as how it has been formally classified, give important distinguishing characteristics.

Description

Built works are the subjects of innumerable descriptions that provide a wide range of information with regards to the aesthetic and historical importance of the work, inter alia. Such descriptions are of use in a scholarly understanding of a built work just in case we are able to track the provenance of such elocutions in a systematic fashion. Such an aim drives the need for the tracking of description information as a separate category. The descriptors necessary to this task are documented in the table below.

identifier Name Description CRM Path used by
builtwork_188_description Description This field is used to indicate a description of the documented instance of built work. → P129i → E33[188_1] → P190 → rdfs:Literal Swiss Art Research Infrastructure

builtwork_192_description_date_-_earliest Description Date - Earliest This field is used to indicate the earliest possible date for the creation of the description of the documented instance of built work. → P129i → E33[188_1] → P94i → E65[191_1] → P4 → E52[191_2] → P82a → xsd:dateTime Swiss Art Research Infrastructure

These descriptors should be deployed together in order to provide full context to ‘text blobs’ by means of authorship, type of description as well as the time of articulation.

Parthood

Built works may require documentation not just as a whole, but with regards to their parts. This information category gathers together the basic descriptors typically deployed to this end. The parthood relations of built works are both highly important information in understanding of this type of work and also highly complex to document. In this base model, we represent simply the relation of belonging of one Built Work to another. An extended model would take account of mereological and topological relations in a much richer way. At the basic reference level, however, this level of detail is not necessary.

Existence

Of essential importance in identifying and tracking built works is information pertaining to their existence, particularly regarding their construction and destruction dates. For this reason, we have clustered descriptors relevant to such information in a common ‘existence’ category. These are described in the table below.

identifier Name Description CRM Path used by
builtwork_58_production_date_-_earliest Construction Date - Earliest This field is used to indicate the earliest date for the construction of the documented instance of built work. → P108i → E12[58_1] → P4 → E52[58_2] → P82a → xsd:dateTime Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_59_production_date_-_latest Construction Date - Latest This field is used to indicate the latest date for the construction of the documented instance of built work. → P108i → E12[58_1] → P4 → E52[58_2] → P82b → xsd:dateTime Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_60_production_location Construction Location This field is used to indicate the place of the construction of the documented instance of built work. → P108i → E12[58_1] → P7 → E53[60_1] Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_61_production_period Construction Period This field is used to indicate the historical period in which the construction of the documented instance of built work occured. → P108i → E12[58_1] → P10 → E4[61_1] Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_62_destruction_date_-_earliest Destruction Date - Earliest This field is used to indicate the earliest date for the destruction of the documented instance of built work. → P13i → E6[62_1] → P4 → E52[62_2] → P82a → xsd:dateTime Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_63_destruction_date_-_latest Destruction Date - Latest This field is used to indicate the latest date for the destruction of the documented instance of built work. → P13i → E6[62_1] → P4 → E52[62_2] → P82b → xsd:dateTime Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_64_destruction_location Destruction Location This field is used to indicate the location of the destruction of the documented instance of built work. → P13i → E6[62_1] → P7 → E53[64_1] Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_65_destruction_period Destruction period This field is used to indicate the historical period in which the destruction of the documented instance of built work occured. → P13i → E6[62_1] → P10 → E4[65_1] Swiss Art Research Infrastructure

The above structure allows for the documentation of time of construction and destruction of a built work as a whole. Note that while ontologically speaking the agency of the architect and builder in the events of construction could be documented as part of this information unit, we have instead clustered this data in the actors Relations category.

Actor Relations

The connection between a built work and actors provides another important set of descriptors for identifying and tracing it. Particularly, basic interest clusters around the individuals involved in the creation of the built work and those who own the built work presently. The actor relations information gathers these together.

identifier Name Description CRM Path used by
builtwork_135_creator Creator This field is used to indicate the architect and/or other actors involved in the construction of the documented instance of built work. → P108i → E12[58_1] → P14 → E39[135_1]

→ P108i → E12[58_1] → P01 → PC14[135_2] → P02 → E39[135_3]
Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_136_creator_role Creator Role This field is used to indicate the role played by the architect and/or other actors involved in the conctruction of the documented instance of built work. → P108i → E12[58_1] → P01 → PC14[135_1] → P14.1 → E55[136_1] Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_137_current_owner Current Owner This field is used to indicate the present owner of the documented instance of built work. → P52 → E39[137_1] Swiss Art Research Infrastructure
builtwork_139_style_-_movement Style - Movement This field is used to indicate an artistic movement to which the documented built work is associated because of its style. → P140i → E13[139_1] → P141 → E74[139_2]
→ P140i → E13[139_1] → P2 → E55["P15 is influenced by"][139_3]
Swiss Art Research Infrastructure

These descriptors allow the connection of a built work to its creator and present owner.

Substance

The analysis and understanding of a built work depends also on our knowledge of its materiality and physical characteristics. The category of substance brings together descriptors which are relevant to this form of analysis. Particularly, it groups information having to do with the composition and measurable aspects of the built work as an object. Information regarding the decomposition of the built work into parts is found in the parthood category.
