military expenditures in US dollars in period
(militaryExpendituresInUSDollarsInPeriod ?AREA ?AMOUNT ?PERIOD) means that the estimated military spending of the GeopoliticalArea ?AREA was ?AMOUNT in UnitedStatesDollars during the TimeInterval indicated by ?PERIOD. Note: This predicate was created to represent data from the CIA World Fact Book, which calculates ?AMOUNT by multiplying estimated defense spending of an ?AREA in percentage terms by the gross domestic product (GDP) for ?PERIOD. Note that for this figure, GDP is calculated by the exchange rate method rather than by PPPBasedEconomicValuation. In any case, military expenditures data should be treated as only approximate.
Relationships      
InstancesabstractProperties 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.
 entityThe universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology.
 inheritable relationThe class of Relations whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the subrelation Predicate.
 predicateA 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'.
 relationThe 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.
 ternary predicateThe Class of Predicates that require exactly three arguments.
 ternary relationTernaryRelations relate three items. The two subclasses of TernaryRelation are TernaryPredicate and BinaryFunction.
