#stratified_language a language that cannot be used as its own metalanguage
exclusion: unstratified_language
supertype: programming_language__programminglanguage__programing_language (computer science) a language designed for programming computers
supertype: artificial_language a language that is deliberately created for a specific purpose
supertype: linguistic_communication__language a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols; "he taught foreign languages"; "the language introduced is standard throughout the text"; "the speed with which a program can be executed depends on the language in which it is written"
supertype: language system of signs for expressing thought; the system can be either natural or artificial, i.e. something that emerges gradually as a cultural artifact or something that is intentionally created by a person or group of people
supertype: linguistic_expression content bearing objects which are language-related, i.e. both languages and the elements of languages, e.g., words
supertype: content_bearing_object__contentbearingobject a self_connected_object that expresses content; this content may be a sumo#proposition, e.g., when the content_bearing_object is a sentence or text, or it may be a representation of an abstract or physical object, as with an icon, a word or a phrase
supertype: description_medium__descriptionmedium e.g., a syntax, a language, a script, a structure
supertype: description description (content/medium) of an entity or a situation
supertype: description_content/medium/container__descriptioncontent/medium/container
supertype: non_spatial_object_that_is_not_an_attribute_or_quality_or_measure
supertype: non_spatial_object__nonspatialobject abstraction or description content/medium/container (a description medium that has some spatial feature is both instance of sumo#object and pm#non_spatial_object
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: intangible The collection of things that are not physical -- are not made of, or encoded in, matter. Every cyc#Collection is a cyc#intangible (even if its instances are tangible), and so are some cyc#individuals. Caution: do not confuse `tangibility' with `perceivability' -- humans can perceive light even though it's intangible--at least in a sense.
supertype: partially_intangible__partiallyintangible The collection of things that either are wholly intangible (see cyc#Intangible) or have at least one intangible (i.e. immaterial) part (see cyc#intangibleParts). This includes intangible individuals, such as instances of cyc#Number-General or cyc#Agreement, as well as non-individuals (all of which are intangible), i.e. instances of cyc#SetOrCollection. It also includes things that have both tangible and intangible components (see cyc#CompositeTangibleAndIntangibleObject), such as a printed copy of a newspaper (as its information content is intangible) or a person (as her mental states are intangible).
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: 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: entity something that can be "involved" in a situation
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: divisible_entity__divisibleentity many classifications under this category are application-dependant
supertype: entity something that can be "involved" in a situation
supertype: divisible_thing__divisiblething
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: communication something that is communicated between people or groups
supertype: description_content/medium/container__descriptioncontent/medium/container
supertype: social_relation a relation between living organisms (especially between people)
supertype: relation an abstraction belonging to or characteristic of two entities or parts together
supertype: thing_that_can_be_seen_as_a_relation usable as relation type
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
