| 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. |
| | DeviceAttribute | This class contains Attributes that indicate how a Device is behaving with respect to some norm or expectation. Examples: Functioning, Malfunctioning. |
| | Entity | The universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology. |
| | NormativeAttribute | A Class containing all of the Attributes that are specific to morality, legality, aesthetics, etiquette, etc. Many of these attributes express a judgement that something ought or ought not to be the case. |
| | ObjectiveNorm | The Class of NormativeAttributes that are associated with an objective criterion for their attribution, i.e. there is broad consensus about the cases where these attributes are applicable. |
| | RelationalAttribute | Any 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. |
