Relation sumo#disjoint_decomposition (sumo#class,sumo#class+)  a disjoint_decomposition of a class C is a set of mutually disjoint subclasses of C
  subtype:  sumo#partition (pm)  a partition of a class C is a set of mutually disjoint classes (a subclass partition) covering C; each instance of C is instance of exactly one of the subclasses in the partition

  type:  pm#predicate_type__predicatetype  a sentence-forming relation with each tuple being a finite, ordered sequence of objects

                 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

                 supertype:  pm#what_relation (*)
                    supertype:  pm#wh-/how_relation (*)  this type permits to categorize relations according to the usual who/what/why/where/when/how questions ; this is a traditional but very subjective and ineffective way of categorizing relations

           supertype:  pm#relation_from_type (pm#type,*)  type of relations from a concept/relation type, i.e. in RDFS terminology, from a class or a property

     supertype:  pm#relation_to_another_set_or_class (pm#set_or_class,pm#set_or_class+)  this category is needed to group SUMO relations between classes which cannot be subtype of pm#relation_from_type because their signatures curiously also involve sets
