Relation pm#consequence (situation,situation)  see also rst#effect
  inverse:  cause
  supertype:  later_situation__latersituation (situation,situation)
     supertype:  relation_from_situation_to_situation (situation,situation)
        supertype:  relation_from_situation (situation,*)
           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
              >part of:  relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with  type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
        supertype:  relation_to_situation (*,situation)  in WebKB, prefer using relations "from" a situation
           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:  when_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 
              >part of:  relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with  type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
     supertype:  before (?,?)
        supertype:  binary_relation (?,?)  in WebKB, most relation types are binary and some have a variable number of arguments (as in KIF), hence this type is currently only specialized by types that I do not want to see as direct subtypes of pm#relation
           supertype:  relation_with_particular_property (*)  this rather fuzzy type permits to group categorization schemes less common than those covered by the previous sibling categories
              >part of:  relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with  type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
  supertype:  why_relation__whyrelation (*)
     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
