CLASS OF ENTITY - Class of Entity

Synonym

Class, Type, Universal

Description

Abstract Concept

A Class of Entity is a Class of Element that classifies Entitys. Being a subtype of Entity, it is also an instance of itself.

Note:

1) SysFEAT is a higher-order ontology, so Class of Entity may have instances that are also Class of Entity (Class of Classes).

2) SysFEAT is also a non-well-founded and allows for self-referencing Class of Entity.

Meta-Ordering of Class of Entity: a Class of Entity is either a Class of Ordered Entity or a Class of Mixed-Order Entity

Functional Domain: Reflexive Knowledge Graph

The Reflexive Knowledge Graph domain defines the top level constructs of Entitys, Relations, their multi-level classification and mereological relationships.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyped by Meta-Class	[1..1]	Meta-Class	Class of Entity
PowerTyping	[1..0]	Power Class	Class of Entity	A PowerTyping relationship is a instance of Entity relationship between a Class of Entity and its Power Class.
Class of Relation	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	Abstract Relationship The Class of Relation is the powertype of Relation.
Class of Reference	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	Abstract Relationship
Specialization	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	Abstract Relationship A Specialization is a Typology relationship between two Class of Entitys. It relates a more concrete Class of Entity, called the sub-class, to a more abstract Class of Entity, called the super-class. It indicates that all instances of the sub Class of Entity are instances of the super Class of Entity, the extent of the sub Class of Entity is a subset of the extent of the super Class of Entity, which might be the same set.
Reference Relation	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Reference Relation is a Relation that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Existential Independence	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Independence relationship is a Relation that specifies that the existence the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality of set set of targetted Entity is [0..*].
