Parent class and superclasses all the way to to 'Entity'
Definition
▲
This is an ontological definition of the entity using the standard format of specifying the parent class followed by specification of characteristics that distinguish this class from others in that class
A process aggregate whose member parts are of the same type.
Note: Definitions may show angled brackets (< and >) around some of the text to show that it is the parent term.
Informal definition
▲
Ontological definitions can sometimes be hard to read so this provides an informal version that is more user friendly where required
Several processes of the same type repeated over time.
Fuzzy set
▲
This indicates whether the entity has fuzzy boundaries e.g. adolescence. In that case users of the term must precisely specify the operationalisation of the class in each usage.
No
Curator note
▲
This is optional text explaining how the entity was developed and the reasoning behind choice of label and definition
u is a uniform process aggregate means:
• u instance_of process aggregate
• P is the set {p1,…pn} of process aggregate member parts of u
• X is some descendant of process
• Each of {p1,…pn} in P is instance_of X
