Task: Class Definition Understanding (ontology: Arts_Media_Entertainment/CIDOC_CRM)

Which of the following definitions best describes 'E6 Destruction'?

A. Scope note:
This class comprises the events that result in the formal or informal termination of an instance of E74 Group. 
If the the concept was deliberate, the the concept event should also be instantiated as an instance of E7 Activity.

Examples:
- the fall of the Roman Empire (Whittington, 1964)
- the liquidation of Enron Corporation (Atlas, 2001)

In First Order Logic:
- E68(x) ⇒ E64(x)
B. Scope note:
This class comprises the deaths of human beings. 
If a person is killed, their the concept should be instantiated as the concept and as E7 Activity. The the concept or perishing of other living beings should be documented as instances of E64 End of Existence.

Examples:
- the murder of Julius Caesar (E69, E7) (Irwin, 1935)
- the the concept of Senator Paul Wellstone (Monast and Tao, 2002)

In First Order Logic:
- E69(x) ⇒ E64(x)
C. Scope note:
This class describes the act of assessing the state of preservation of an object during a particular period. 
The the concept may be carried out by inspection, measurement, or through historical research. This class is used to document circumstances of the respective assessment that is relevant to interpret its quality at a later stage, or to continue research on related documents.

Examples:
- last year’s inspection of humidity damage to the frescos in the St. George chapel in our village (fictitious)
- the the concept of the endband cores of MS Sinai Greek 418 by Nicholas Pickwoad in November 2003 (Honey & Pickwoad, 2010)
- the the concept of the cover of MS Sinai Greek 418 by Nicholas Pickwoad in November 2003 (Honey & Pickwoad, 2010)

In First Order Logic:
- E14(x) ⇒ E13(x)
D. Scope note:
This class comprises events that destroy one or more instances of E18 Physical Thing, such that they lose their identity as the subjects of documentation.
Some the concept events are intentional, while others are independent of human activity. Intentional the concept can be documented by classifying the event as both an instance of the concept and of E7 Activity. 
The decision to document an object as destroyed, transformed, or modified is context-sensitive: 
1. If the matter remaining from the the concept is not documented, the event is modelled solely as an instance of the concept. 
2. An event should also be documented using E81 Transformation if it results in the the concept of one or more objects and the simultaneous production of others using parts or material from the original. In this case, the new items have separate identities. Matter is preserved, but identity is not.
3. When the initial identity of the changed instance of E18 Physical Thing is preserved, the event should be documented as an instance of E11 Modification.

Examples:
- the the concept of Herculaneum by volcanic eruption in 79 AD (Camardo, 2013)
- the the concept of Nineveh (E6, E7) (River, 2016) 
- the breaking of a champagne glass yesterday by my dog (fictitious)

In First Order Logic:
- E6(x) ⇒ E64(x)
