RELATIONSHIP - Specialization
| Description | Abstract Concept A Specialization is a Typology Relationship between two Ordered Semantic Classes. It relates a more concrete Ordered Semantic Class, called the sub-class, to a more abstract Ordered Semantic Class, called the super-class. It indicates that all instances of the sub Ordered Semantic Class are instances of the super Ordered Semantic Class, the extent of the sub Ordered Semantic Class is a subset of the extent of the super Ordered Semantic Class, which might be the same set). |

Ordered Semantic Class | Abstract An Ordered Semantic Class is collection of Ontological Blocks which it classifies according to a chain of powertype relations, with every Ordered Semantic Class specializing the basic type of the same order and instantiating the one of the order above. This make SysFEAT is a higher-order ontology, so Ordered Semantic Classes may have members that are also Ordered Semantic Classes ( Class of Classes). | |
