sumo#inverse (pm#binary_relation_type -> pm#binary_relation_type) for inverseOf(R,S) read: R is the inverse of S; i.e. if R(x,y) then S(y,x) and vice versa; in WebKB, use the link '-'
equal: pm#inverse (pm) owl#inverse_of (pm)
type: pm#binary_predicate_type the class of predicates relating two items - its valence is two
type: pm#irreflexive_relation_type r is irreflexive if r(?i,?i) holds for no value of ?i
type: pm#symmetric_relation_type when (?REL ?INST1 ?INST2) implies (?REL ?INST2 ?INST1), for all ?INST1 and ?INST2
type: pm#intransitive_relation_type a binary_relation ?REL is intransitive only if (?REL ?INST1 ?INST2) and (?REL ?INST2 ?INST3) imply not (?REL ?INST1 ?INST3), for all ?INST1, ?INST2, and ?INST3

supertype: pm#relation_from_binary_relation_type (pm#binary_relation_type,*)
supertype: pm#relation_from_relation_type (pm#relation_type,*)
supertype: pm#relation_from_type (pm#type,*) type of relations from a concept/relation type, i.e. in RDFS terminology, from a class or a property
supertype: pm#relation_from_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#irreflexive_relation__irreflexiverelation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#irreflexive_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
