Relationships
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.
	Attribute	Qualities which we cannot or choose not to reify into subclasses of.
	Entity	The universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology.
	GeometricFigure	The class of all geometric figures, i.e. the class of all abstract, spatial representations. The instances of this class are GeometricPoints, TwoDimensionalFigures or ThreeDimensionalFigures.
	InternalAttribute	Any Attribute of an Entity that is an internal property of the Entity, e.g. its shape, its color, its fragility, etc.
	ShapeAttribute	Any Attribute that relates to the shape of an Object.
	StructureAttribute	Each subclass of StructureAttribute denotes some facet of the structure of physical entities. Each instance of StructureAttribute denotes some structural characteristic that may pertain to some Physical entity.
	ThreeDimensionalFigure	The class of GeometricFigures that have position and an extension along three dimensions, viz. geometric solids like polyhedrons and cylinders.
