Meronymy Relation	[*..0]	First Order Entity	First Order Entity	Abstract Relationship 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.
