rdf#type (?,rdfs#class) the '^' link in the FT notation

supertype: pm#relation_to_class (*,rdfs#class)
supertype: pm#relation_to_set_or_class (*,pm#set_or_class)
supertype: pm#relation_to_collection (*,pm#collection)
supertype: pm#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: pm#relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
supertype: pm#what_relation (*)
supertype: pm#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

supertype: pm#generalizing_type (?,pm#type) fuzzy category, DO NOT USE DIRECTLY
supertype: pm#partial_ordering_relation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#partial_ordering_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: pm#reflexive_relation__reflexiverelation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#reflexive_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: pm#binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
supertype: pm#relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (*)
supertype: pm#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: pm#relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
supertype: pm#antisymmetric_relation__antisymmetricrelation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#antisymmetric_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: pm#binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
supertype: pm#transitive_relation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#transitive_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: pm#binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
supertype: sumo#instance (?,sumo#set_or_class) if the common reading conventions of parameters had been respected, this type would have been named instance_of; an object is an instance of a set_or_class if it is included in that set_or_class; an individual may be an instance of many classes, some of which may be subclasses of others; thus, there is no assumption in the meaning of instance about specificity or uniqueness
supertype: dc#Type (?,pm#entity) to specify the nature or genre of the content of a resource; SHOULD NOT BE USED IN WEBKB
supertype: pm#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: pm#relation_with_particular_property (*) this rather fuzzy type permits to group categorization schemes less common than those covered by the previous sibling categories
