What is an inscription?

• Text?
• Object?
• the photo of the text/object?
• the record?

What's a C.H.O.?

This object does not exist.

A record of it exist.

A text has been recorded.

Is it a C.H. OBJECT?

[Deo patrio Ap]ollini et diis A[u]g(ustis?) [sacrum]
[M(arcus) Livineius C(ai) f(ilius)] Quirina De[xt]er sua pecu[nia fecit]

There is no photo of this text from Bulla Regia (Tunisia). 

Is the text the C.H.O.?

These are two inscriptions from the content providers

Europeana aggregator intends a CHO as:

digital object/resource + landing page. 
landing page = edm:isShownAt: unambiguous URL  to information context of the digital object

resource = edm:isShownBy: unambiguous URL reference to the digital object on the provider’s web site in the best available resolution/quality.

digital object: photo, video, audio or text (read: book/pdf/djvu)

[Deo patrio Ap]ollini et diis A[u]g(ustis?) [sacrum]

an online record with a photo is ok even if it does not exist

an XML encoded text of an inscription without a photo does not go, is not a digital object

a surrogate of an old book is fine, nevermind it is not actually an inscription itself

Please, remove the texts from your data.

easy: an existing inscription with a photo

a marble PHOTO 34X35 ?

Is an inscription a CHO?

What to do with translations of metadata in Latin?

http://www.eagle-network.eu/resources/vocabularies/

• terms values
• alternative labels
• definitions
• related contents (based on URI)

Which other inscriptions exist with this descriptive feature? 

Which other inscriptions where found here?

Which other inscriptions are now in the same conservation place?
