Manifestation¶
Manifestations may be interpreted as “snapshots” of an object at some point in time. This enables the representation of changing attributes of an object, without losing information about its past values/relationships. The properties of the class must then be identified as properties that are (and aren't) subject to change, in order to distinguish between the static and dynamic aspects of a particular entity.
