supertype: artifact__artefact a man-made object taken as a whole
supertype: created_thing__createdthing e.g., entity or situation that results from a process; in WordNet, #creation_result is for entities while #resultant is for situation
supertype: thing_playing_some_role category to classify things according to roles/viewpoints; classification under this category is application-dependant
supertype: thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
supertype: physical_object__object a tangible and visible entity; an entity that can cast a shadow; "it was full of rackets, balls and other objects"

supertype: physical_entity__object spatial entity made of matter
supertype: physical_endurant__PED
supertype: spatial_object__spatialobject object which as a direct spatial location, e.g., physical object, spatial region or shape
supertype: object__entity_with_spatial_feature spatial object (space, location or physical object) or description medium/container (e.g., string, language, image); in a 4D ontology, an object is something whose spatiotemporal extent is thought of as dividing into spatial parts roughly parallel to the time-axis
supertype: entity something that can be "involved" in a situation
supertype: thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
supertype: physical__physical_thing an entity that has a location in space-time; locations are themselves understood to have a location in space-time; click here for more details on the identical category sowa#physical_thing
supertype: thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
supertype: partially_tangible__partiallytangible A subcollection of cyc#SpatialThing-Localized and cyc#TemporalThing. Each instance of cyc#PartiallyTangible has a tangible (i.e. material) part and a temporal extent (i.e. it exists in time). It might or might not also have an intangible part. For example, a particular copy of a book is made of matter, has temporal extent, and also has an intangible part: the information content of the text markings on its pages.
supertype: thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
supertype: individual__particular___supertype_of_1st_order_types all individuals (for concepts or relations) are implicitely or explicitely instance of that type

supertype: endurant__ED
supertype: entity something that can be "involved" in a situation
supertype: thing an object seen from a 3D (or endurantist) perspective, i.e. where a spatial entity may have a time independent identity, as opposed for example to the 4D perspective where each spatial entity has an associated time frame; click here and here for details
supertype: thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
supertype: endurant_or_perdurant__ED_or_PD
supertype: quality_or_endurant_or_perdurant__Q_or_ED_or_PD
supertype: entity a category from DOLCE or generalized by a category from DOLCE
supertype: individual__particular___supertype_of_1st_order_types all individuals (for concepts or relations) are implicitely or explicitely instance of that type
supertype: PQ_or_PED_or_PR_or_PD
supertype: quality_or_endurant_or_perdurant__Q_or_ED_or_PD
supertype: tangible Something which is not intangible, something which is physical, made of matter. It does not matter whether things are real of imaginary. Therefore we consider Mickey Mouse's car and a hippogriff as tangible things
supertype: temporal_thing The collection of all things that have temporal extent or location, i.e. things about which one might sensibly ask When? . cyc#TemporalThing thus contains many kinds of things, including events, physical objects, agreements, and abstract pieces of time. Note that cyc#TimePoint is a specialization of cyc#TemporalThing, since time points have temporal location, although they arguably lack temporal extent. Abstract things that are timeless -- such as mathematical sets, attributes, and numbers -- are of course _not_ instances of cyc#TemporalThing.
supertype: thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
supertype: whole_thing__wholething__whole__unit an assemblage of parts that is regarded as a single entity; "how big is that part compared to the whole?"; "the repairman simply replaced the unit"
supertype: corpuscular_object__corpuscularobject__composite_entity__compositeentity___divisible_entity_with_discrete_parts self_connected_object whose parts have properties that are not shared by the whole
supertype: self_connected_object object that does not consist of two or more disconnected parts
supertype: object__entity_with_spatial_feature spatial object (space, location or physical object) or description medium/container (e.g., string, language, image); in a 4D ontology, an object is something whose spatiotemporal extent is thought of as dividing into spatial parts roughly parallel to the time-axis
supertype: divisible_entity__divisibleentity many classifications under this category are application-dependant
