This class is subclass of crm:E55 Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes". In this domain-specific context idiom:ActivityType comprisies concepts referring to the type of a idiom:Activity. Examples are: "destruction", "war", "wedding", "accession", "modification", "exhibition".
This class is subclass of crm:E55_Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes". In this domain-specific context idiom:ActorAppellationType comprisies concepts referring to the type of appellation of an crm:E39 Actor. Examples for appellation types are "birth name", "death name", "dynasty name".
Due to research practices, it is necessary to reference the relationship between Epigraphic Actors with a literary source. In order to avoid the use of reification in the IDIOM schema, the classes idiom:Parent/GrandParent/Sibling/Spouse/Ancestor/DivineTutelary/UnspecifiedRelationship were modeled. The classes indicate the nature of the relationship between two or more instances of idiom:Epigraphic Actor (e.g. parent, spouse, sibling etc.). These classes allow to give a idiom:Source to each relationship statement.
This class is a subclass of crm:E44_Place_Appellation and therefore "comprises any sort of identifier characteristically used to refer to an crm:E53_Place". In this domain-specific context idiom:ArchaeologicalCoordinates referring to identifier used in an archaeological or excavation context to identify a certain crm:E53_Place by using a reference system regarding archaeological practices.
This class is subclass of crm:E22_Man-Made_Object and therefore describes "physical objects purposely created by human activity". In this domain-specific context idiom:Artefact describes all artificially crafted objects of Classic Mayan society that may or may not carry epigraphic content, an inscription and/or visual information. It differs from crm:E84_Information_Carrier, because an idiom:Artefact is not stringently required to be specifically designed for the purpose to carry information. Examples are (1) the Temple of the Cross of Palenque, (2) Yaxchilan Lintel 8.
This class is subclass of crm:E55_Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes". In this domain-specific context idiom:ArtefactOrientation comprisies concepts specifiing the orientation of a idiom:Artefact as observed at a idiom:Discovery.
This class is subclass of crm:E55_Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes". In this domain-specific context idiom:ArtefactShapeType comprisies concepts referring to the shape of an idiom:Artefact.
This class is subclass of crm:E55_Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes".

In this domain-specific context idiom:ConditionType comprisies concepts referring to the physical state of a idiom:Artefact. Exmaples are "restored", "abraded", "painted over".
This class is a subclass of crm:E7_Activity and therefore "comprises actions intentionally carried out by instances of E39_Actor that result in changes of state in the cultural, social, or physical systems documented." In this domain-specific context idiom:Custody describes periods, where instances of idiom:Artefact are hold by a crm:E39_Actor. It differs from crm:E10_Transfer of Custody, because it does not describe the act of transferring objects, but the period in which the objects are hold. This allows to assign instances of idiom:Artefact to a collection of the holding institution or person. An example: Jade plaque of a Maya king (idiom:Artefact) is in custodial care (idiom:Custody) of the British Museum (crm:E39 Actor) and is part of the Maya Collection.
idiom:Date allows to assign calendar dates representing a time span to crm:E5_Event. Due to research practices idiom:Date consits of dates used by the Mayan calendar system (Long Count and Calendar Round) and by the Gregorian calendar system, as both can be converted to one another.
This class is a subclass of crm:E7_Activity and therefore "comprises actions intentionally carried out by instances of E39_Actor that result in changes of state in the cultural, social, or physical systems documented." In this domain-specific context idiom:Discovery describes the act of finding instances of idiom:Artefact by a crm:E39_Actor. Examples are (1) the discovery (idiom:Discovery) of the Yaxchilan Lintel 8 (idiom:Artefact) by Teobert Maler (idiom:NonEpigraphicPerson); (2) the discovery (idiom:Discovery) of Coba Stela 1 (idiom:Artefact) by the Third CIW Coba Expedition Group (idiom:NonEpigraphicGroup).
This class comprises all things in the scope of discourse of the IDIOM metadata schema.
This class is a subclass of crm:E21_Person and therefore "comprises real persons who live or are assumed to have lived." In this domain-specific context the existence of an idiom:EpigraphicActor is proved by epigraphic evidence manifested in instances of idiom:EpigraphicInformationObject. This includes persons who were part of Classic Mayan society, such as kings, priests, scribes and scupltors as well as agents who where part of Classic Mayan mythology such as deities and mythological creatures. idiom:EpigraphicActor is disjoint from idiom:NonEpigraphicPerson. Examples are: (1) K'inich Janaab' Pakal (March 603 – August 683); (2) Itzamna (the name of an upper god and creator deity thought to be residing in the sky).
This class is a subclass of crm:E74_Group and therefore "comprises any gatherings or organizations of two or more people that act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of unifying relationship". In this domain-specific context the existence of an idiom:EpigraphicGroup is proved by epigraphic evidence manifested in instances of idiom:EpigraphicInformationObject. This includes groups who where part of Classic Mayan society, such as ruler familiy or dynasty, priests, scribe and scupltor schools as well as agents who where part of Classic Mayan mythology such as deities and mythological creatures. idiom:EpigraphicGroup is disjoint from idiom:NonEpigraphicGroup.
This class is a subclass of crm:E47_Spatial_Coordinates and therefore "comprises the textual or numeric information required to locate specific instances of crm:E53 Place within schemes of spatial identification". In this domain-specific context idiom:GeoreferencePoint referring to coordinitates specified by the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) used for the identification of a crm:E53_Place as a single point, more precisely a longitude, a latitude and if applicable an altitude coordinate.
This class is subclass of crm:E55_Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes". In this domain-specific context idiom:GroupTypeActorRole comprisies concepts specifying the role of a crm:E39_Actor during the performance of a crm:E7_Activity. Examples are "king", "sculptor", "warrior", "captive". It also comprises concepts specifying the type of a crm:E74_Group.
This class is a subclass of crm:E74_Group and therefore "comprises any gatherings or organizations of two or more people that act collectively or in a similar way due to any form of unifying relationship". In this domain-specific context instances of idiom:NonEpigraphicGroup are part of post Mayan society and therefore are not mentioned in epigraphic texts of Classic Mayan society. Examples are: (1) Third CIW Coba Expedition Group; (2) The British Museum.
This class is a subclass of crm:E21_Person and therefore "comprises real persons who live or are assumed to have lived." In this domain-specific context instances of idiom:NonEpigraphicPerson are part of post Mayan society and therefore are not mentioned in epigraphic texts of Classic Mayan. Examples are: Teobert Maler (1842 - 1917, a scholar who discovered mayan artefacts), Ernst Förstemann (1822 - 1906, a historian who encoded the Dresden Codex).
The class idiom:PerformingActor was modeled in order to avoid the use of reification in the IDIOM schema. The class allows to express the specific role of an actor when performing in an activity.
This class is subclass of crm:E55_Type an therefore "comprises concepts denoted by terms from thesauri and controlled vocabularies used to characterize and classify instances of CRM classes". In this domain-specific context idiom:PlaceType comprisies concepts referring to the type of a crm:E53_Place.
