Relationships      
InstancesAutonomousAgentSomething or someone that can act on its own and produce changes in the world.
 AbstractProperties 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.
 AttributeQualities which we cannot or choose not to reify into subclasses of.
 CollectionCollections tienen members como Classes, pero a diferencia de Classes, tienen lugar en espacio-tiempo y se pueden añadir y eliminar members sin cambiar la identidad de la Collection, por ejemplo, juegos de herramientas, equipos de futbol, y rebaños de ovejas.
 EntityLa clase universal de individuos. Es el nodo principal de la ontología.
 GovernmentThe ruling body of a GeopoliticalArea.
 GovernmentOrganizationGovernmentOrganization is the class of official Organizations that are concerned with the government of a GeopoliticalArea at some level. They may be a subOrganization of a government.
 GroupA Collection of Agents, e.g. a flock of sheep, a herd of goats, or the local Boy Scout troop.
 LegalAgentA LegalAgent is an Attribute of an AutonomousAgent that is allowed by law to to act and be treated as a legal person for certain purposes, such as being a party to a lawsuit, owning property, and entering into a contract. Typically, a LegalAgent is either an adult Human or some type of Organization. Depending on the prevailing legal system in a given time and location, Humans in general, as well as other CognitiveAgents, typically will have additional legal rights and obligations beyond those accorded to LegalAgents. See the Wikipedia description of Juristic person.
 ObjectCorresponde aproximadamente a la clase de objetos ordinarios. Por ejemplo, incluye objetos físicos y normales, regiones geográficas y ubicaciones de Processes, el complemento de Objects en la clase Physical. En una ontología 4D, un Object es un objeto cuyo alcance espacio-temporal se piensa como dividido en tres partes espaciales que son aproximadamente paralelos al eje del tiempo.
 OrganizationAn Organization is a corporate or similar institution. The members of an Organization typically have a common purpose or function. Note that this class also covers divisions, departments, etc. of organizations. For example, both the Shell Oil Corporation and the accounting department at Shell would both be instances of Organization. Note too that the existence of an Organization is dependent on the existence of at least one member (since Organization is a subclass of Collection). Accordingly, in cases of purely legal organizations, a fictitious member should be assumed.
 PhysicalUna entidad que tiene ubicación en espacio-tiempo. Note que las ubicaciones se entienden tener sitio en espacio-tiempo.
 RelationalAttributeAny Attribute that an Entity has by virtue of a relationship that it bears to another Entity or set of Entities, e.g. SocialRoles and PositionalAttributes.
