deceptive identifier | (deceptiveIdentifier ?OBJ ?AGENT) means that ?AGENT presents ?OBJ as a representation of ?AGENT's `true' identity, when in fact it is not. |
| | describes | (describes ?FORMULA ?OBJECT) means that some Formula ?FORMULA, as said by some AutonomousAgent regarding some Object ?OBJECT |
| | email address | (emailAddress ?Address ?Agent) means that ?Address denotes a VirtualPlace at which ?Agent can be contacted. |
| | names | (names ?STRING ?ENTITY) means that the thing ?ENTITY has the SymbolicString ?STRING as its name. Note that names and represents are the two immediate subrelations of refers. The predicate names is used when the referring item is merely a tag without connotative content, while the predicate represents is used for referring items that have such content. |
| | phone number | (phoneNumber ?Phone ?Agent) holds if ?Phone is a phone number corresponding to the Telephone ?Phone. |
| | registered item | (registeredItem ?DOCUMENT ?ITEM) means that the Text ?DOCUMENT contains an official record of the Physical thing ?ITEM. The registered item could be an object or an event, e.g., an automobile, a ship, a marriage, an adoption. |
| | represents | A very general semiotics Predicate. (represents ?THING ?ENTITY) means that ?THING in some way indicates, expresses, connotes, pictures, describes, etc. ?ENTITY. The Predicates containsInformation and realization are subrelations of represents. Note that represents is a subrelation of refers, since something can represent something else only if it refers to this other thing. See the documentation string for names. |
| 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. |
| | 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. |
