P69 is a property in the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM), an ontology for cultural heritage documentation. It denotes a symmetric association between two instances of an E29 Design or Procedure, and can be refined with a typed subproperty to specify the nature of the association. The property generalises relationships such as whole-part, sequence, prerequisite, or inspired by.

Meaning

P69 identifies a general association between instances of E29 Design or Procedure in CIDOC CRM. It is intended to model relationships such as part-whole structure, ordering, dependency, or conceptual influence.

Properties

CIDOC CRM describes P69 as symmetric and many-to-many, with both domain and range set to E29 Design or Procedure. A subordinate property, P69.1 has type, can be used to indicate the exact kind of association.

Use in modelling

The property can be used to represent workflows or procedural descriptions that are decomposed into related steps. CIDOC CRM notes that it is often suitable for linking separate procedures within a larger process.

Naming history

The CIDOC CRM issue page indicates the property was revised and renamed to "P69 has association with (is associated with)."
