Data record

Definition
Objects originally created to facilitate human activity and to provide for the physical needs of people, generally by offering comfort, convenience, or protection. Clothing is excluded from this category as it addresses only the needs of a specific individual. Furnishings are not objects used as active agents in other processes, such as objects used as tools or equipment; they passively enable human activity.
