Relation sumo#subclass__subclass_of (set_or_class,set_or_class) if the common reading conventions of parameters had been respected, this type would have been named subclass_of; every instance of the 1st argument is also an instance of the 2nd argument; a class may have multiple superclasses and subclasses
subtype: immediate_subclass the 1st argument is a subclass of the 2nd argument and there is no other subclass of the 2nd argument such that the 1st is also a subclass of the 2nd; in WebKB, use the link '<'
type: binary_predicate_type the class of predicates relating two items - its valence is two
type: partial_ordering_relation_type binary_relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive
supertype: subclass_of_or_equal (set_or_class,set_or_class)
supertype: relation_to_another_set_or_class (set_or_class,set_or_class+) this category is needed to group SUMO relations between classes which cannot be subtype of pm#relation_from_type because their signatures curiously also involve sets
supertype: relation_between_collections (collection,collection+)
supertype: relation_from_collection (collection,*)
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: what_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: 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: 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: 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: binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
supertype: relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (*)
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: 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: binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
supertype: 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
