I'm posting entries for five days from 8th to 12th November 1661 inclusive.

There are no new modelling challenges raised by any of these new entries.

Posting two more entries today.

Events for 6th November 1661 are:

  • Samuel breakfasts with John Davenport, Mr. Furbisher and William Bernard at the Sun tavern. A breakfast of wine, anchovies and pickled oysters doesn't seem like the best way to start the day to me.
  • Samuel goes from the breakfast to dinner with Nicholas Osborne and his wife at the Victualling Office.
  • Sam visits Henry Moore (we are not told where the visit takes place).
  • Samuel goes to see the Lord Privy Seal on business.
  • Samuel plays the lute at home (modelled as a performance event).

Events for 7th November 1661 are:

  • Roger Hill visits Samuel at his home. I have not modelled Mr. Hill's desire to teach Samuel to play the Theoboro, nor Samuel's determination for him not to.
  • Samuel works at the Navy Office
  • Peter Pett dines as a guest of Samuel's
  • Samuel calls on Tom Trice and they discuss a writ that Trice is to serve against Samuel's father. The writ is modelled as an item that is the subject of the discussion event used to describe this meeting.
  • Samuel visits Dr. Williams.
  • Samuel visits Henry Moore for advice. I have assumed that the advice Samuel seeks is on the writ, and so I have made the writ the subject of the discussion event that describes this meeting.
  • Samuel calls on Thomas Fenner.
  • Samuel receives a letter from Sir Edward Montagu in Lisbon.

I've fallen a little bit behind with the topic maps due to travelling.

The events modelled for 5th November 1661 are as follows:

  • Samuel works at the Navy Office.
  • Thomas Pepys and William Armiger dine with Samuel at the Pepys' house.
  • Samuel and William Penn pay a visit to Elizabeth Batten.
  • William Batten travels to Chatham (the travelling event started some time before Pepys and Penn visit Lady Batten).
  • Samuel, Penn and George Cocke go drinking at the Dolphin Tavern
  • Pepys and Penn return to Lady Batten's
  • Pepys returns home from the Batten's.

In addition to posting this entry, I've begun to make changes to the representation of marriage. Up to now, marriage has been represented as a simple association like:

married-to(samuel-pepys : spouse, elizabeth-pepys : spouse)

Marriage is now modelled as an event, allowing us to specify the temporal bounds on the marriage and to use the marriage as a subject in its own right.

I've made use of scoped names to present different ways of presenting and indexing the marriage event. e.g.

[thomas-katherine-fenner-marriage

= "Marriage of Thomas Fenner and Katherine Kite"

= "Marriage to Katherine Kite";"Fenner, Thomas;marriage to Katherine Kite" / thomas-fenner

= "Marriage to Thomas Fenner";"Kite, Katherine;marriage to Thomas Fenner" / katherine-kite]

participation(

thomas-katherine-fenner-marriage : event,

katherine-kite : spouse,

thomas-fenner : spouse )

This is particularly useful for scoping the married name of women. e.g.

[katherine-kite : woman = "Katherine Kite"; "Kite, Katherine"

= "Katherine Fenner";"Fenner, Katherine" / thomas-katherine-fenner-marriage
