CLASS OF CLASS OF ENTITY - Second Order Class

Description

Abstract Concept

Second Order Class is the Meta-Class of all subclasses of First Order Class.

Each instance of Second Order Class is a class, each of whose instances is a First Order Class.

First Order Class is an instance of Second Order Class since, by definition, all of its instances are First Order Classes.

Examples:

1) Car-Brand (with instances such as VolkswagenCar and HondaCar),

2) AnimalSpecies (with instancessuch as GreyWolf and Dodo), Occupation, and USArmyRank.

Functional Domain: Reflexive Knowledge Graph

The Reflexive Knowledge Graph domain defines the top level constructs of Entitys, Relationships, their multi-level classification and mereological relationships.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyping	[1..0]	Power Class	Class of Entity	A PowerTyping relationship is a Classification relationship between a Class of Entity and its Power Class.
Class of Relationship	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	Abstract Relationship The Class of Relationship is the powertype of Relationship.
Specialization	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	Abstract Relationship A Specialization is a Typology relationship between two Class of Entitys. It relates a more concrete Class of Entity, called the sub-class, to a more abstract Class of Entity, called the super-class. It indicates that all instances of the sub Class of Entity are instances of the super Class of Entity, the extent of the sub Class of Entity is a subset of the extent of the super Class of Entity, which might be the same set.
Referencing Relationship	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Referencing Relationship is a Relationship that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Existential Independence	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Independence relationship is a Relationship that specifies that the existence the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality of set set of targetted Entity is [0..*].
