name: Technique
title: Technique Class
description: |
A technique or method used in a heritage activity.
Represents structured technique records with type classification, description,
and provenance. Used for conservation treatments, examinations, production
methods, and documentation activities.
**MIGRATION**: Created to support `uses_or_used_technique` slot per slot_fixes.yaml
(Rule 53/56, 2026-01-16). Replaces unstructured `techniques_used` string values.
**Ontology Alignment**:
- class_uri: crm:E29_Design_or_Procedure
- CIDOC-CRM: "This class comprises documented or encoded procedures for
producing and executing activities."
**Key Properties**:
- has_or_had_type: Links to TechniqueType subclass (REQUIRED)
- has_or_had_label: Human-readable technique name
- has_or_had_description: Detailed description of technique application
- includes_or_included: Sub-steps or component techniques
**Example**:
```yaml
technique:
has_or_had_type: SolventCleaning
has_or_had_label: "Varnish removal with acetone mixture"
has_or_had_description: |
Removal of discolored natural resin varnish using
50:50 acetone/white spirit mixture applied with cotton swabs.
Working in small sections under magnification.

slot_usage:
has_or_had_identifier:
description: Unique identifier for this technique instance or reference to vocabulary term.
examples:
- value: aat:300379752
description: AAT identifier for solvent cleaning
- value: https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/technique/mauritshuis-670-1994-solvent-cleaning
description: Instance-specific technique identifier
has_or_had_type:
range: TechniqueType
required: true
description: |
The type of technique from the TechniqueType hierarchy.
Required to classify the technique method.
examples:
- value: SolventCleaning
description: Solvent cleaning technique type
- value: InfraredReflectography
description: IR reflectography examination technique
- value: TratteggioInpainting
description: Tratteggio inpainting technique
has_or_had_label:
description: Human-readable name of the technique as applied.
examples:
- value: "Varnish removal with acetone mixture"
- value: "Tratteggio inpainting of paint losses"
- value: "Macro XRF scanning"
has_or_had_description:
description: |
Detailed description of how the technique was applied.
Should include materials, methods, and specific conditions.
examples:
- value: |
Removal of discolored natural resin varnish using
50:50 acetone/white spirit mixture. Applied with cotton swabs,
working in small sections under 10x magnification.
Solvent action monitored continuously.
- value: |
Tratteggio inpainting of losses using Gamblin conservation
colors. Fine parallel brushstrokes at 45-degree angle,
approximately 1mm spacing.
includes_or_included:
range: Technique
multivalued: true
inlined_as_list: true
description: |
Sub-techniques or component steps within this technique.
Enables hierarchical technique documentation.
examples:
- value:
has_or_had_type: AqueousCleaning
has_or_had_label: "Initial surface cleaning"
has_or_had_description: "Removal of surface grime with distilled water and cotton swabs"
description: First step in multi-step cleaning process
comments:
- Technique represents a procedure or method applied in heritage activities
- Always requires has_or_had_type to classify the technique
- Use includes_or_included for complex multi-step procedures
- Link to vocabulary terms (AAT) via has_or_had_identifier when applicable
