RELATIONSHIP - Meronymy Relation
| Description | Abstract Concept Meronymy Relation is a directional "part-to-whole" Meronymy Relation between First Order Entitys, where the source First Order Entity (the part) is defined has being part of a larger whole First Order Entity. In accordance with principles of Compositionality, Meronymy Relation is not simply the inverse of Holonymy Relation. In some cases, the whole First Order Entity is not inherently defined by some its parts. Location (Located at) and period relationships are such Meronymy Relations. Example: - William Shakespeare is born in Stratford-upon-Avon, but the Stratford-upon-Avon geo-location is not inherently defined by William Shakespeare. It is defined by its geophysical containers: Continent-Europe, Landmass-Great Britain. - William Shakespeare is born in 1564, but the year 1564 is not inherently defined by the birth of William Shakespeare. It is defined by its position in the Gregorian calendar and contains countless other global events.

First Order Entity | Abstract A First Order Entity is a kind of Ordered Entity that is not itself a class (Class of Entity): it cannot have instances. The " First Order Entity" class is itself the powerinstance of First Order Class. The Individual term is sometimes used to designate First Order Entity. In SysFEAT, as in BORO and OpenCyc, the Individual term is reserved for First Order Entitys that have a spatio-temporal extent. First Order Entitys are the most common type of entities. Examples: . The set of numbers {1,2,3,4}. . The mathematical constant ? (pi). . The English word "Tree" (as a specific string of characters in a specific language). . The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...). . Mount Vesuvius eruption (Aug. 24-25, A.D. 79). |
