associate's degree
This is a binary function that refers to an Associate's degree. This is a degree that is earned after 2 years at a JuniorCollege. For (AssociateDegreeFn ?X ?Y), the ?X should represent the FieldOfStudy and ?Y should represent the JuniorCollege. Note: this is not to be confused with HonoraryAssociateDegreeFn (HonoraryAssociateDegreeFn).
Relationships      
Parents substantive degree This is a binary function that represents a Degree that was earned after a certain amount of time at a PostSecondarySchool. This is not to be confused with HonoraryDegreeFn, which is a degree that can be awarded by a PostSecondarySchool to someone who has made considerable advances in a certain FieldOfStudy. A SubstantiveDegreeFn is only awarded to a Student after they fulfill a set of graduation requirements (for example, a certain number of classes and a research thesis).
InstancesabstractProperties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium. Instances of Abstract can be said to exist in the same sense as mathematical objects such as sets and relations, but they cannot exist at a particular place and time without some physical encoding or embodiment.
 binary functionThe Class of Functions that require two arguments.
 entityThe universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology.
 functionA Function is a term-forming Relation that maps from a n-tuple of arguments to a range and that associates this n-tuple with at most one range element. Note that the range is a Class, and each element of the range is an instance of the Class.
 inheritable relationThe class of Relations whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the subrelation Predicate.
 relationThe Class of relations.There are two kinds of Relation: Predicate and Function. Predicates and Functions both denote sets of ordered n-tuples. The difference between these two Classes is that Predicates cover formula-forming operators, while Functions cover term-forming operators.
 single valued relationA Relation is a SingleValuedRelation just in case an assignment of values to every argument position except the last one determines at most one assignment for the last argument position. Note that not all SingleValuedRelations are TotalValuedRelations.
 ternary relationTernaryRelations relate three items. The two subclasses of TernaryRelation are TernaryPredicate and BinaryFunction.
