Relation pm#how_relation__howrelation (*)
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
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: method (process,description)
subtype: sub_process__subproces (process,process)
subtype: how_much_relation (*)
subtype: duration (situation -> time_measure)
subtype: relation_to_attribute_or_quality_or_measure (*,attribute_or_quality_or_measure)
subtype: attribute (?,attribute_or_quality_or_measure) e.g., [a car, attribute: a weight]
subtype: property (?,Attribute)
subtype: attribute (object,Attribute) the 2nd argument is an attribute of the 1st
subtype: manner (process,Attribute) the 1st argument is qualified by the 2nd (which is usually denoted by and adverb), e.g., the speed of the wind, the style of a dance, or the intensity of a sports competition
subtype: qt__quality (quality_or_endurant_or_perdurant,quality) the DOLCE predicate qt(x,y,t) means "x is a quality of y" but this relation respects the usual reading conventions: the 1st argument has for quality the 2nd argument
subtype: direct_quality__dqt (quality_or_endurant_or_perdurant,quality) the DOLCE predicate dqt(x,y,t) means "x is a direct quality of y" (not a quality of a quality of x) but this relation respects the usual reading conventions: the 1st argument has for direct quality the 2nd argument
subtype: relation_to_another_attribute_or_quality_or_measure (attribute_or_quality_or_measure,attribute_or_quality_or_measure)
subtype: measure (attribute_or_quality_or_measure,attribute_or_quality_or_measure) e.g., [a weight, measure: 75 kg]
subtype: q_location__qlocation (quality,region)
subtype: has_quale__hasquale__ql (quality,quale)
subtype: has-unit-of-measure (physical_quantity,unit_of_measure)
subtype: relation_from_collection_to_number (collection -> number)
subtype: size__number_of_elements (collection -> nonnegative_integer)
subtype: length (list -> nonnegative_integer)
subtype: minimal_size__minimalsize (collection -> nonnegative_integer)
subtype: maximal_size__maximalsize (collection -> nonnegative_integer)
subtype: percentage (collection -> number)
subtype: average (number_container -> number) to specify an average on the values
