Sigma KEE - resourceConsumption

resource consumption
|
|
(resourceConsumption ?PROCESS ?QUANT) means that ?PROCESS consumes an amount of the resource specified. The CaseRole resource is used in conjunction with resourceConsumption to specify the kind of resource used in the process. If the second argument is a ConstantQuantity.it will be the total consumption during the Process. If the second argument is a FuntionQuantity,it would be a rate of consumption over the time of the process.For example, in (equal ?QUANT (PerFn(MeasureFn ?Q ?U) (MeasureFn ?DC ?DU))), ?Q = 0.1, ?U = USGallon, ?DC = 1, ?DU = MinuteDuration.

| Instances | abstract | Properties 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 predicate | A Predicate relating two items - its valence is two. |
| | binary relation | BinaryRelations are relations that are true only of pairs of things. BinaryRelations are represented as slots in frame systems. |
| | case role | The Class of Predicates relating the spatially distinguished parts of a Process. CaseRoles include, for example, the agent, patient or destination of an action, the flammable substance in a burning process, or the water that falls in rain. |
| | entity | The universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology. |
| | inheritable relation | The class of Relations whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the subrelation Predicate. |
| | predicate | A Predicate is a sentence-forming Relation. Each tuple in the Relation is a finite, ordered sequence of objects. The fact that a particular tuple is an element of a Predicate is denoted by '(*predicate* arg_1 arg_2 .. arg_n)', where the arg_i are the objects so related. In the case of BinaryPredicates, the fact can be read as `arg_1 is *predicate* arg_2' or `a *predicate* of arg_1 is arg_2'. |
| | relation | The 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. |
