Scope note

Text

The instances of this class are portions or sections of expressions clearly identifiable as such (e.g. a chapter of a book) or defined by the reader (e.g. a couple of sentences). Therefore the identity of the portion is provided by the definition adopted by the user in order to cut it out.

If an expression or expression portion is split on different carriers (e.g. the first part of the copy of a letter is found in the end of volume I and the second part of the copy in the beginning of volume II) then the portion is related to both volumes as carriers of the one relevant expression portion. In this case the expression portion will be associated as part of two different Expression instances.
