Abstract Entity

BUILDING BLOCK - Abstract Entity

Description

Abstract Concept

An Abstract Entity is a First Order Entity that does not represent a spatio-temporal extent, unlike Individuals,
One specific use case is the definition of syntactic entities, such as in packaging and annotation.

Another use case is to provide first-level support for terminology concepts, such as vocabulary and designation, without delving into changes in vocabulary over time.

Functional Domain: Abstract Knowledge Graph

The Abstract Knowledge Graph defines the top level constructs of Entitys and Relations which have no spatiotemporal extension and do not participate in composite structures..

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyped by Class of Abstract Entity	[1..1]	Class of Abstract Entity	Abstract Entity
Holonymy Relation	[*..0]	First Order Entity	First Order Entity	Abstract Relationship Holonymy Relation is a directional whole-to-part Relation (often called Composition) between First Order Entitys, where the source First Order Entity (the whole) incorporates the target First Order Entity as one of its constituent parts.In accordance with principles of Compositionality, Holonymy Relation is not simply the inverse of Meronymy Relation. In many cases, the target part is an independant First Order Entity which exists conceptually and often physically without requiring knowledge of, or containing an inherent reference to, its parent whole.The embedding of a part within its whole involves a form of nesting (see Nesting Relation and Aggregate Block). It is important to note, however, that nesting does not inherently imply holonymy.Example:
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.
