BUILDING BLOCK - Individual

Description	Abstract Concept Individuals are Ontological Blocks which represent things that exist over space and time. Individuals are represented as light orange boxes, while there classes are represented as dark orange boxes (see the Meta-Model Legend) . Examples: . The Eiffel tower completion (31st March 1889) . The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...). . William Shakespeare birth (1592) . William Shakespeare in its Early Theatrical Career (1592-1600). . Confucius (685-758). . Confucius death (758). . Mount Vesuvius eruption (Aug. 24-25, A.D. 79). . Oackland digital hospital after its renovation (2022 - ...) . The execution of the registration process at the Oackland digital hospital, by John Smith, on 17 March 2020. Structural Partition of Individual: an Individual is either a Temporal Bounding, a Bounded Individual or an Individual Property

Composition (Whole/Part)	[*..0]	Individual	Individual	Composition (Whole/Part) is a Semantic Relationship between Individuals, where the source Individual (the whole) incorporates the target Individual as one of its parts.Composition (Whole/Part) is a Semantic Relationship where the source Individual (the whole) incorporates the target Individual as one of its parts.
Referencing Relationship	[*..0]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Referencing Relationship is a Relationship Element that points at its target Entity Element through Reference Adjacency.
Dependency Relationship	[1..1]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Dependency Relationship is a Relationship Element that specifies the existential dependency of the sourceRelationship Element on its target Relationship Element.The cardinality to the target Entity Element is [1..1].
Non-Dependency Relationship	[*..0]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Non-Dependency Relationship is a Relationship Element that specifies that the existence the source Entity Element doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity Element.The cardinality to the target Entity Element is [0..*].
Classification	[*..0]	Ordered Semantic Class	Ontological Block	Classification is the top level Typology Relationship that relates an Ontological Block to an Ordered Semantic Class, as instance of this Ordered Semantic Class.
