2.5 Ranges and class level properties

The range of a Latimer Core class defines the classes to which it can validly be attached. This is intended to provide guidelines for reasonable interconnections between classes that are useful when describing a given aspect of a collection. For example, the TemporalCoverage class can be validly attached to the CollectionStatusHistory, Event, or PersonRole classes in order to document the time spans for those classes.

Class Name	Range (i.e., other classes to which this class can be attached)
Address	OrganisationalUnit, Person, StorageLocation
ChronometricAge	ObjectGroup
CollectionDescriptionScheme	RecordLevel
CollectionStatusHistory	ObjectGroup
ContactDetail	ObjectGroup, OrganisationalUnit, Person, PersonRole
Event	ObjectGroup
GeographicOrigin	ObjectGroup
GeologicalContext	ObjectGroup
Identifier	ChronometricAge, CollectionDescriptionScheme, CollectionStatusHistory, Event, GeographicOrigin, GeologicalContext, ObjectClassification, ObjectGroup, OrganisationalUnit, Person, RecordLevel, Reference, StorageLocation, Taxon
MeasurementOrFact	ChronometricAge, CollectionStatusHistory, Event, GeographicOrigin, GeologicalContext, ObjectClassification, ObjectGroup, OrganisationalUnit, Person, PersonRole, StorageLocation, Taxon, TemporalCoverage
ObjectClassification	ObjectClassification, ObjectGroup
ObjectGroup	RecordLevel
OrganisationalUnit	ObjectGroup, OrganisationalUnit, RecordLevel
Person	PersonActivity, PersonRole
PersonRole	Event, MeasurementOrFact, ObjectGroup, OrganisationalUnit, RecordLevel
RecordLevel	NA
Reference	ChronometricAge, CollectionStatusHistory, Event, GeographicOrigin, GeologicalContext, Identifier, ObjectGroup, Person, PersonRole, RecordLevel, ResourceRelationship, Taxon, TemporalCoverage
ResourceRelationship	ObjectGroup, RecordLevel
SchemeMeasurementOrFact	CollectionDescriptionScheme
SchemeTerm	CollectionDescriptionScheme
StorageLocation	ObjectGroup
Taxon	ObjectGroup
TemporalCoverage	CollectionStatusHistory, Event, MeasurementOrFact, OrganisationalUnit, PersonRole, ResourceRelationship

Conversely, the class-level properties define which other classes can be attached to a given Latimer Core class:

Class Name	Class-level Properties
Address	Identifier
ChronometricAge	Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, Reference
CollectionDescriptionScheme	Identifier, Reference
CollectionStatusHistory	Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, Reference, TemporalCoverage
ContactDetail	Identifier
Event	Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, PersonRole, Reference, TemporalCoverage
GeographicOrigin	Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, Reference
GeologicalContext	Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, Reference
Identifier	Reference
MeasurementOrFact	Identifier, Reference, TemporalCoverage
ObjectClassification	Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, ObjectClassification, Reference
ObjectGroup	ChronometricAge, CollectionStatusHistory, Event, GeographicOrigin, GeologicalContext, Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, ObjectClassification, OrganisationalUnit, PersonRole, Reference, ResourceRelationship, StorageLocation, Taxon
OrganisationalUnit	Address, ContactDetail, Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, OrganisationalUnit, PersonRole, Reference, TemporalCoverage
Person	Address, ContactDetail, Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, Reference
PersonRole	Address, ContactDetail, Event, Identifier, MeasurementOrFact, Person, Reference, TemporalCoverage
RecordLevel	CollectionDescriptionScheme, Identifier, ObjectGroup, OrganisationalUnit, PersonRole, Reference
Reference	Identifier
ResourceRelationship	Identifier, Reference, TemporalCoverage
SchemeMeasurementOrFact	Identifier, Reference
SchemeTerm	Identifier, Reference
StorageLocation	Address, Identifier, Reference, MeasurementOrFact
