Instances | Abstract | Properties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium.

| 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. |
| MusicGenre | MusicGenre is a categorical construct that identifies musical sound as belonging to a particular category that can be distinguished from other types of music. They are attributes instead of subclasses of Music as the classification of a song to a particular genre is oftentimes arbitrary, as well as the fact that there are very closely related genres that oftentime overlap. It is applied to a MusicRecording instead of Music as a piece of Music can be reinterpreted as a different genre by different artists. |
