measure
This
BinaryFunction
maps a
RealNumber
and a
UnitOfMeasure
to that
Number
of units. It is used to express `measured' instances of
PhysicalQuantity
. Example: the concept of three meters is represented as (
MeasureFn
3
Meter
).
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.
binary function
The
Class
of
Function
s that require two arguments.
entity
The universal class of individuals. This is the root node of the ontology.
function
A
Function
is a term-forming
Relation
that maps from a n-tuple of arguments to a range and that associates this n-tuple with at most one range element. Note that the range is a
Class
, and each element of the range is an instance of the
Class
.
inheritable relation
The class of
Relation
s whose properties can be inherited downward in the class hierarchy via the
subrelation
Predicate
.
relation
The
Class
of relations. There are two kinds of
Relation
:
Predicate
and
Function
.
Predicate
s and
Function
s both denote sets of ordered n-tuples. The difference between these two
Class
es is that
Predicate
s cover formula-forming operators, while
Function
s cover term-forming operators.
single valued relation
A
Relation
is a
SingleValuedRelation
just in case an assignment of values to every argument position except the last one determines at most one assignment for the last argument position. Note that not all
SingleValuedRelation
s are
TotalValuedRelation
s.
ternary relation
TernaryRelation
s relate three items. The two
subclass
es of
TernaryRelation
are
TernaryPredicate
and
BinaryFunction
.
total valued relation
A
Relation
is a
TotalValuedRelation
just in case there exists an assignment for the last argument position of the
Relation
given any assignment of values to every argument position except the last one. Note that declaring a
Relation
to be both a
TotalValuedRelation
and a
SingleValuedRelation
means that it is a total function.
