#catheter a thin flexible tube inserted into the body to permit introduction or withdrawal of fluids or to keep the passageway open subtype: #endotracheal_tube a catheter that is inserted into the trachea through the mouth or nose in order to maintain an open air passage or to deliver oxygen or to permit the suctioning of mucus or to prevent aspiration of the stomach contents supertype: #tubing__tube conduit consisting of a long hollow object (usually cylindrical) used to hold and conduct liquids or gases supertype: #conduit__channel a passage for water (or other fluids) supertype: #passage.way a way through or along which someone or something may pass supertype: #way any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another; "he said he was looking for the way out" supertype: #artifact__artefact a man-made object taken as a whole supertype: pm#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: pm#thing_playing_some_role category to classify things according to roles/viewpoints; classification under this category is application-dependant supertype: pm#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: dl#non-agentive_physical_object__NAPO e.g., a bottle supertype: dl#physical_object__POB supertype: pm#physical_entity__object spatial entity made of matter supertype: dl#physical_endurant__PED supertype: pm#spatial_object__spatialobject object which as a direct spatial location, e.g., physical object, spatial region or shape supertype: sumo#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: pm#entity something that can be "involved" in a situation supertype: pm#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: sumo#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: pm#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: cyc#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: pm#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: pm#individual__particular___supertype_of_1st_order_types all individuals (for concepts or relations) are implicitely or explicitely instance of that type supertype: pm#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: dl#endurant__ED supertype: pm#entity something that can be "involved" in a situation supertype: 3D#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: pm#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: dl#endurant_or_perdurant__ED_or_PD supertype: dl#quality_or_endurant_or_perdurant__Q_or_ED_or_PD supertype: dl#entity a category from DOLCE or generalized by a category from DOLCE supertype: pm#individual__particular___supertype_of_1st_order_types all individuals (for concepts or relations) are implicitely or explicitely instance of that type supertype: dl#PQ_or_PED_or_PR_or_PD supertype: dl#quality_or_endurant_or_perdurant__Q_or_ED_or_PD supertype: cyc#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: cyc#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: pm#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: sumo#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: sumo#self_connected_object object that does not consist of two or more disconnected parts supertype: sumo#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: pm#divisible_entity__divisibleentity many classifications under this category are application-dependant supertype: pm#entity something that can be "involved" in a situation supertype: pm#divisible_thing__divisiblething supertype: pm#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
