Relation sumo#partial_ordering_on (binary_relation_type,set_or_class)  a binary_relation is a partial ordering on a set_or_class only if the relation is reflexive_on the set_or_class, and it is both an antisymmetric_relation, and a transitive_relation
  type:  binary_predicate_type  the class of predicates relating two items - its valence is two
  type:  asymmetric_relation_type  an antisymmetric and irreflexive relation
  supertype:  relation_to_set_or_class (*,set_or_class)
     supertype:  relation_to_collection (*,collection)
        supertype:  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:  what_relation (*)
           supertype:  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:  asymmetric_relation (?,?)  this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#asymmetric_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type

              supertype:  relation_with_particular_property (*)  this rather fuzzy type permits to group categorization schemes less common than those covered by the previous sibling categories
