The Ontology SIG meeting in Rome discussed the need for an object description chapter.

It is suggested that a working group be chartered by Council to go through the MS description chapter and re-consider its coverage, marking all changes which are needed to extend the coverage of the chapter to include other objects such as paintings and tombstones, text bearing or not.

Based on the documented need for changes the group should either decide to make a combined chapter or write a new one.

Element sharing is an issue to be taken into consideration.

One solution is to extend the place-person etc. with objects and focus the MS description on all kinds of text bearing objects. MS descriptions elements could also be considered to be an extension of more general elements, and possibly this needs addressing in ODD (i.e. how to say formally that an element is a specialisation of another).

All this needs a call for examples from the community, of course.

The need to change the MS desc chapter is expressed in the MS desc community as well.

Torsten Schassan, Sebastian Rahtz, Oyvind Eide and Lou Burnard have all expressed an interested in being in this group, and Torsten is provisionally willing to lead it.
