Groups range from formal legal entities (corporations, governments, universities) to informal collectives (bands, movements, families, friend groups). The defining characteristic is COLLECTIVE AGENCY - the group can: - Perform actions attributed to the group as a unit - Hold collective identity distinct from individual members - Persist through changes in membership Groups are subclasses of AGENT (crm:E74_Group is a subclass of E39_Actor). design_rationale: | CIDOC-CRM E74_Group: "This class comprises any gatherings or organizations of E21 Persons that act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of unifying relationship." This is broader than: - org:Organization (W3C Org) - implies formal structure - foaf:Organization - primarily corporate entities - schema:Organization - web-focused commercial entities E74_Group encompasses: - Formal organizations (org:FormalOrganization) - Informal groups (foaf:Group) - Historical entities (guilds, courts, movements) - Families and dynasties - Artistic/cultural movements without formal structure # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ONTOLOGY MAPPINGS # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ontology_mappings: primary_class: "crm:E74_Group" primary_class_definition: | CIDOC-CRM E74 Group: "This class comprises any gatherings or organizations of E21 Persons that act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of unifying relationship." alternative_classes: - "rico:CorporateBody" # For formal organizations - "foaf:Group" # For informal groups - "org:Organization" # W3C Org for structured organizations linkml_mapping: class_uri: "crm:E74_Group" exact_mappings: - "foaf:Group" close_mappings: - "org:Organization" - "schema:Organization" related_mappings: - "rico:CorporateBody" nerd_class: "nerd:Organization" nerd_deprecation_note: | DEPRECATED: NERD's Organization class implies formal legal structure, excluding informal groups, movements, and historical collectives. For Digital Humanities, CIDOC-CRM E74_Group is authoritative. Retain NERD mapping ONLY for NLP pipeline interchange. org_ontology: formal_organization: "org:FormalOrganization" organizational_unit: "org:OrganizationalUnit" note: | W3C Org Ontology provides precise organizational modeling: - org:Organization: Any collection of people organized together - org:FormalOrganization: Recognized legal entity (company, charity, government) - org:OrganizationalUnit: Division or department within an organization Use org:FormalOrganization for GRP.HER, GRP.COR, GRP.GOV, GRP.EDU.
