Simon, et al., the CIMI group which met in Halifax last week is still
trying to get some of the TYPE-related issues we discussed ironed out in
such a way that they can coherently be presented to the rest of you. This
won't take long.
In the meantime, however, one self-contained suggestion from that group
which I can put forward is a wish that 'event' be added as a type.
At the most basic, this obviously refers to exhibitions, live web-casts,
etc, and probably applies quite broadly.
With greater resolution, the new type also becomes the basis of quite a
sophisticated interpretation of the 1:1 model, whereby the notion of
use/creation/re-use/etc. events may be applied both to physical objects
and to their surrogates, whether analogue or digital. Some nice examples
of this were discussed in Halifax, and they should be ready for wider
examination in the very near future.
Thanks,
Paul
