| 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. |
| | AntisymmetricRelation | BinaryRelation ?REL is an AntisymmetricRelation if for distinct ?INST1 and ?INST2, (?REL ?INST1 ?INST2) implies not (?REL ?INST2 ?INST1). In other words, for all ?INST1 and ?INST2, (?REL ?INST1 ?INST2) and (?REL ?INST2 ?INST1) imply that ?INST1 and ?INST2 are identical. Note that it is possible for an AntisymmetricRelation to be a ReflexiveRelation. |
| | AsymmetricRelation | A BinaryRelation is asymmetric if and only if it is both an AntisymmetricRelation and an IrreflexiveRelation. |
| | BinaryPredicate | A Predicate relating two items - its valence is two. |
| | BinaryRelation | BinaryRelations are relations that are true only of pairs of things. BinaryRelations are represented as slots in frame systems. |
| | CaseRole | 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 | La clase universal de individuos. Es el nodo principal de la ontología. |
| | InheritableRelation | The class of Relations whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the subrelation Predicate. |
| | IrreflexiveRelation | Relation ?REL is irreflexive iff (?REL ?INST ?INST) holds for no value of ?INST. |
| | PartialValuedRelation | A Relation is a PartialValuedRelation just in case it is not a TotalValuedRelation, i.e. just in case assigning values to every argument position except the last one does not necessarily mean that there is a value assignment for the last argument position. Note that, if a Relation is both a PartialValuedRelation and a SingleValuedRelation, then it is a partial function. |
| | 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. |
