Relation pm#case_relation__thematic_relation (situation,*)
supertype: relation_from_situation
subtype: doer/object/result/place (situation,?)
subtype: doer/object/result (situation,?)
subtype: agent__doer (situation [48..*],entity [49..*])
subtype: organizer (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: participant (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: seller__vendor___vender (situation -> goal_directed_agent)
subtype: customer__client___buyer__buyer___purchaser__purchaser___vendee (situation,goal_directed_agent)
subtype: responsible_agent__responsibleagent (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: agent (process,agentive_physical_object) the 2nd argument is an active determinant, animate or inanimate, of the process
subtype: initiator (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: object/result (situation,?)
subtype: instrument (situation,entity)
subtype: instrument (process,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: object__patient___theme__theme (situation,?)
subtype: input (process,?)
subtype: material (process,?)
subtype: parameter (process,?)
subtype: input_output__inputoutput (process,?)
subtype: modified_object (process,?)
subtype: muted_object__mutedobject (process,?)
subtype: deleted_object__deletedobject (process,?)
subtype: patient (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: instrument (process,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: resource (process,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: result (process,?) the 2nd argument is the product of the process, e.g., house is a result in 'Eric built a house'
subtype: result (situation,?)
subtype: output (process,?)
subtype: result (process,?) the 2nd argument is the product of the process, e.g., house is a result in 'Eric built a house'
subtype: from/to (situation,entity)
subtype: source (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: recipient (situation,entity)
subtype: beneficiary (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: from/to_place__from/toplace (process -> spatial_object)
subtype: from_place (process -> spatial_object)
subtype: to_place__destination (process -> spatial_object)
subtype: via_place__viaplace__via (process -> spatial_object)
subtype: path (process -> spatial_object)
subtype: origin__from (process,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: destination__to (process,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: place (situation -> spatial_object)
subtype: path_length (process -> spatial_attribute_or_quality_or_measure)
subtype: experiencer (situation,causal_entity)
subtype: experiencer (process,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: relation_from_process_only (process,?)
subtype: goal (process,situation)
subtype: triggering_event (process,event)
subtype: ending_event (process,event)
subtype: precondition (process,situation)
subtype: postcondition (process,situation)
subtype: input (process,?)
subtype: input_output__inputoutput (process,?)
subtype: sub_process__subproces (process,process)
subtype: method (process,description)
subtype: from/to_place__from/toplace (process -> spatial_object)
subtype: process_attribute__processattribute (process,process_attribute_or_quality_or_measure)
subtype: manner (process,process_attribute_or_quality_or_measure)
subtype: participant_in_Dolce_Lite (perdurant,endurant)
subtype: participant__PC (perdurant,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: total_participant__totalparticipant__PC.T (perdurant,endurant)
subtype: temporary_total_participant__temporarytotalparticipant__PC.t (perdurant,endurant)
subtype: constant_participant__PC.C (perdurant,endurant)
