BUILDING BLOCK - Ordered Semantic Class

Synonym	Type
Description	Abstract Concept An Ordered Semantic Class is collection of Ontological Blocks which it classifies according to a chain of powertype relations, with every Ordered Semantic Class specializing the basic type of the same order and instantiating the one of the order above. This make SysFEAT is a higher-order ontology, so Ordered Semantic Classes may have members that are also Ordered Semantic Classes ( Class of Classes). Structural Partition of Ordered Semantic Class: an Ordered Semantic Class is either a Class of Class of Individual or a Class of Individual

Super Types	Class of Entity Element Ontological Block (from partition: Structural Partition of Ontological Block)
Functional Domain	Semantic The purpose of the Semantic pattern is to provide meaning through the definition of Ontological Blocks, described by their Typology Relationship (Classification and Specialization), and their Temporal Sequencing.

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Specialization	[*..0]	Ordered Semantic Class	Ordered Semantic Class	A Specialization is a Typology Relationship between two Ordered Semantic Classes. It relates a more concrete Ordered Semantic Class, called the sub-class, to a more abstract Ordered Semantic Class, called the super-class. It indicates that all instances of the sub Ordered Semantic Class are instances of the super Ordered Semantic Class, the extent of the sub Ordered Semantic Class is a subset of the extent of the super Ordered Semantic Class, which might be the same set).
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.
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..*].
