Relation pm#relation_from_situation (pm#situation,*)
exclusion: pm#spatial_relation_from_entity_with_spatial_feature pm#relation_from_collection pm#relation_from_description_content/medium/container pm#relation_from_attribute_or_quality_or_measure
supertype: pm#relation_from/to_thing_of_common_kind this type permits to categorize relations according to their signatures and hence offers (i) a concise way to set essential exclusion relations, and (ii) a systematic and easy-to-follow categorization

subtype: pm#before_situation (pm#situation,pm#situation) in WebKB, do not use these relations, use their inverses

subtype: pm#responsible_agent__responsibleagent (pm#situation,pm#causal_entity)
subtype: sumo#agent (sumo#process,dl#agentive_physical_object) the 2nd argument is an active determinant, animate or inanimate, of the process
subtype: pm#initiator (pm#situation,pm#causal_entity)
subtype: pm#object/result (pm#situation,?)
subtype: pm#instrument (pm#situation,pm#entity)
subtype: sumo#instrument (sumo#process,sumo#object) the 2nd argument is used in bringing about the first and is not changed by it, e.g., the key is an instrument in 'the key opened the door'; instrument and resource cannot be satisfied by the same ordered pair
subtype: pm#object__patient___theme__theme (pm#situation,?)
subtype: pm#input (pm#process,?)

subtype: pm#modified_object (pm#process,?)
subtype: pm#muted_object__mutedobject (pm#process,?)
subtype: pm#deleted_object__deletedobject (pm#process,?)
subtype: sumo#patient (sumo#process,?) the 2nd argument may be moved, said, experienced, etc; the direct objects in 'The cat swallowed the canary' and 'Billy likes the beer' would be examples of patients; the patient of a process may or may not undergo structural change as a result of the process
subtype: sumo#instrument (sumo#process,sumo#object) the 2nd argument is used in bringing about the first and is not changed by it, e.g., the key is an instrument in 'the key opened the door'; instrument and resource cannot be satisfied by the same ordered pair
subtype: sumo#resource (sumo#process,sumo#object) the object is present at the beginning of the process, is used by it, and as a consequence is changed by it; for example, soap is a resource in 'the gun was carved out of soap'; resource differs from instrument in that its internal or physical properties are altered in some way by the process
subtype: sumo#result (sumo#process,?) the 2nd argument is the product of the process, e.g., house is a result in 'Eric built a house'
subtype: pm#result (pm#situation,?)
subtype: pm#output (pm#process,?)
subtype: sumo#result (sumo#process,?) the 2nd argument is the product of the process, e.g., house is a result in 'Eric built a house'

subtype: pm#from_place (pm#process -> pm#spatial_object)
subtype: pm#to_place__destination (pm#process -> pm#spatial_object)
subtype: pm#via_place__viaplace__via (pm#process -> pm#spatial_object)
subtype: pm#path (pm#process -> pm#spatial_object)
subtype: sumo#origin__from (sumo#process,sumo#object) the 2nd argument (which must be present at least at the beginning of the process) indicates where the process began; for example, the submarine is the origin in 'the missile was launched from a submarine'
subtype: sumo#destination__to (sumo#process,pm#entity) the 2nd parameter is the target or goal of the process; for example, Danbury would be the destination in 'Bob went to Danbury'; this is a very general case_role which, in particular, that it covers the concepts of 'recipient' and 'beneficiary'; thus, John would be the destination in 'Tom gave a book to John'
subtype: pm#place (pm#situation -> pm#spatial_object)
subtype: pm#path_length (pm#process -> pm#spatial_attribute_or_quality_or_measure)
subtype: pm#experiencer (pm#situation,pm#causal_entity)
subtype: sumo#experiencer (sumo#process,dl#agentive_physical_object) e.g., Yojo is the experiencer of seeing in 'Yojo sees the fish'; unlike agent, this relation does not entail a causal relation between the arguments

subtype: pm#participant_in_Dolce_Lite (dl#perdurant,dl#endurant)
subtype: dl#participant__PC (dl#perdurant,dl#endurant) the DOLCE predicate PC(x,y,t) means "x participates in y during t" but this relation respects the usual reading conventions: the 1st argument has for participant the 2nd
subtype: dl#total_participant__totalparticipant__PC.T (dl#perdurant,dl#endurant)
subtype: dl#temporary_total_participant__temporarytotalparticipant__PC.t (dl#perdurant,dl#endurant)
