Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwClAZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConceptualWork</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA1ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Microtheory</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQGTzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AbstractInformationStructure</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3N5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FieldOfStudy</a>. Although no instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> has a spatial location, some instances can have multiple spatio-temporal "embodiments". For example, an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAqJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PropositionalInformationThing</a> may be the content of several concrete documents, such as several instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvtEvQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInfoPropositional_IBT</a>); and several distinct events, such as spoken utterances, may have a certain unique <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA7JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Proposition</a> as their content (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjCQJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInformation</a>). info knowledge data datum Heritage heritage dynamic info source DynamicInfoSource The collection of all abstract sources of information whose information content can change over time.

Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rkzhregU2EdqAAAACs6hnlQ" class="cyc_term">FETIntermediateFieldValue</a> are used in the fact entry tool to provide users with sensible choices to questions that don't have simple renderings in CycL. These instances are used as the arguments for special-purpose predicates which are then reformulated into inferentially-useful assertions. caption Subtitle A sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rADr3ZL1sEdmAAAACs6hRjg" class="cyc_term">Translation_WrittenRecord</a>. Each instance is a translation of foreign dialogue of a movie or TV program; usually displayed at the bottom of the screen. This template category covers all the expressions that map to <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjbdJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubAtomicParticle</a>s. This allows us to refine templates that would otherwise be stuck using (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv8GLKpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NPTemplate</a> :ARGX) and therefore firing on all sorts of undesirable input. SubAtomicParticleTemplate sub atomic particle template AnalogyEntityWithStructuralEvaluation An information entity associated with an analogy that can be structurally evaluated. analogy entity with structural evaluation parameter A sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a>.

An important sub-class of this collection is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ruPv7XA9cEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SoftwareParameter</a>, but this collection is more general and includes such things as how much weight a college admissions officer gives to extracurricular activities when rating applications or how much a chess program values pawns when calculating the value of the board that results from a move.

CBL binding specification CBLBindingSpecification abstract computer file ComputerFile-Abstract In some respects and in some domains (notably, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv_rUGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerSecurityMt</a>) it is sometimes more convenient and more natural to represent computer files as instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwClAZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConceptualWork</a>. This enables <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAaJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Cyclist</a>s to adapt existing, program-(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwClAZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConceptualWork</a>) oriented vocabulary to represent files. On the other hand, in some respects (notably when dealing with encryption) it is sometimes more convenient and natural to represent computer files as instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQGTzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AbstractInformationStructure</a>. Thus we have two collections, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwFz9L5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerFile_AIS</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQC9Y5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerFile_CW</a>. This collection, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQncaJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerFile_Abstract</a>, serves as the union of these two collections in order that there might be some vocabulary which can apply to both collections (e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0UdjJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">fileFoundOnComputer</a>). military intelligence The collection of intelligence resulting from an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvknDQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryIntelligenceProcess</a>. MilitaryIntelligence phonological analysis A collection of microtheories. Each element is a microtheory representing knowledge, theory, hypotheses, evidence, and problems related to the phonological analysis of a data set taken from a language or group of languages. LinguisticAnalysis-Phonological SecretInformation secret information All <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rfbzoTHStEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">Classification_US</a> information that receives the classification 'Secret'. The unauthorized disclosure of any instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rW4vAYnS9EdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">SecretInformation</a> 'could reasonably be expected to cause serious damage to the national security' (quote from Denning, 'Information Warfare and Security'). A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv_WZHJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneticInformationStructure</a> are the abstract structure of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvqHO75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneticInformation</a> that are carried in the genetic material of a BLO. For example, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwBgSJJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Gene_GIS</a> are the abstract structures instantiated by instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0yv45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Gene_HereditaryUnit</a>. While the genetic information [see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvqHO75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneticInformation</a>] can be transferred, copied, inherited or expressed, it is said to be encoded [<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv1NRR5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">structureEncodesGenInfo</a>] in instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv_WZHJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneticInformationStructure</a>, which is abbreviated GIS. Instances of GIS are themselves instantiated or realized [<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv4CBrJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">instantiationOfGIS</a>] in a chemical object, where the chemical structure conforms to the abstract structure of the GIS. Each instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv_WZHJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneticInformationStructure</a> is an abstract configuration. Its structure is analyzable in terms of other fundamental structures, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvYZoQJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nucleotide_GIS</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvYZoQJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nucleotide_GIS</a> concatenated in lists form an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0FF6JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NucleicAcidSequence_GIS</a>. Instances of the latter are 'meaningful' since they are the abstract structures that biochemical agents instantiate (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwBgSJJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Gene_GIS</a>) or the abstract structure of a smaller unit that composes the biological agent (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwRiUxpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Codon_GIS</a>). For the corresponding family of chemical instantiations of GISs, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvuqfzpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ChemicalGeneticIBT</a>. Note finally that the instances of the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvwzpXpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Genome_GIS</a> are lists encoding all of the genetic information carried by one - actual or typical - individual in its genetic material, they relate to instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwHEHypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Genome_GenInfo</a> that they encode via <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv1NRR5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">structureEncodesGenInfo</a>.

The comparison itself is reified because there are aspects of the comparison that are shared across multiple mappings, and it is potentially useful to talk about the existence (or lack thereof) of mappings satisfying particular properties with respect to a comparison. For example, consider comparing Operation Desert Storm to WW2. There are several different ways to view this comparison, each corresponding to a different mapping.

For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rhz6DbnSwEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">MovieTypeByGenre</a> facets <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv973YpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Movie_CW</a> according to movie-genre; the former's instances thus include such collections as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0pzgpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WesternMovie</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwFmUH5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HorrorMovie</a>. And <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rYZUSFovbQdeY8PrkLdTqKA" class="cyc_term">FunctionTypeByRangeType</a> facets <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVxAsJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Function_Denotational</a> according to the type of thing a given function returns as values; the former's instances thus include such collections as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj62ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndividualDenotingFunction</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAapwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CollectionDenotingFunction</a>. Note that generic faceting does not entail that the instances of <code>COLTYPE</code> are mutually disjoint. Thus, a given film might be an instance of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwCRfN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ChildrensMovie</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv2VcW5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ActionMovie</a>. Note also that generic faceting does not entail that every instance of <code>COL</code> falls under some instance of <code>COLTYPE</code>. Thus, consider the universal identity function <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSspMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IdentityFn</a>. Its range of values is so broad that it does not fall under any instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rYZUSFovbQdeY8PrkLdTqKA" class="cyc_term">FunctionTypeByRangeType</a>. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvjldVJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">facets_Generic</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv86JWpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">facets_Covering</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvcZ1FpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">facets_Strict</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwA9k15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">facets_Partition</a>, as well as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rgQmwRl2xEdif1wACs2IMlQ" class="cyc_term">facets_NearCovering</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rRA9CIljCEdiRSAACs2IMlQ" class="cyc_term">facets_NearStrict</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rRA9CJFjCEdiRSAACs2IMlQ" class="cyc_term">facets_NearPartition</a>. Whenever possible, one of these more specific predicates should be used. AspatialInformationStore information A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r6-GNDEkIQdeTPvxS8JnCLA" class="cyc_term">AspatialThing</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjj45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntangibleIndividual</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvu__KJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationStore</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> is the collection of all information stores that have no spatial location. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwClAZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConceptualWork</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA1ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Microtheory</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQGTzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AbstractInformationStructure</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3N5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FieldOfStudy</a>. Although no instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> has a spatial location, some instances can have multiple spatio-temporal "embodiments". For example, an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAqJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PropositionalInformationThing</a> may be the content of several concrete documents, such as several instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvtEvQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInfoPropositional_IBT</a>); and several distinct events, such as spoken utterances, may have a certain unique <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA7JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Proposition</a> as their content (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjCQJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInformation</a>). type of stuff A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> is a collection that is stuff-like in at least one respect. A collection <code>COL</code> is stuff-like just in case there is some sense of 'part' according to which every part of an instance of <code>COL</code> is itself an instance of <code>COL</code>. More precisely, for a collection to be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> it is sufficient that there be some spec-pred <code>PARTPRED</code> of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj7bpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">parts</a> (that is, some predicate <code>PARTPRED</code> for which<code> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVtJUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genlPreds</a> PARTPRED <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj7bpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">parts</a>)</code> holds), such that if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJECT1 COL)</code> and <code>(PARTPRED OBJECT1 OBJECT2)</code>, then <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJECT2 COL)</code>. Here are two examples. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a>. Take an instance of that, say a ten minute long period in which a person is breathing. Imagine some two minute snippet of that, one of its <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> (a spec-pred of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj7bpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">parts</a>). That, too, is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a>, since all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> of an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a> are also instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a>. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a>. Take any instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a> -- say the water in the Pacific Ocean. Now take any portion of that water -- say a handful of it that a person scoops up near Honolulu, one of its <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkGOJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">physicalPortions</a> (a spec-pred of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj7bpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">parts</a>). That handful is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a>. Hence <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a>, in virtue of the fact that all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkGOJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">physicalPortions</a> of all instances <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a> are themselves instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a>. Other examples are: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a>, which is stuff-like with respect <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjCQJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInformation</a>; <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a>, which is stuff-like with respect to <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSD2ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">subCharacterStrings</a>; and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvtUAU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">List</a>, which is stuff-like with respect to <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQxEhZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">subLists</a>. These examples are somewhat exceptional -- most <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a>s are like the examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a>. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>, for the contrasting (but not disjoint) notion of being object-like. StuffType (CollectionUnionFn (TheSet CardiacValveProsthesis AspatialInformationStore)) the union of { valve prosthesis, information } TestOWLExportConcept test OWL export concept A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ret7qgOKgEdmAAAACs6hfSg" class="cyc_term">ConceptTypeByDomain</a> (q.v.). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r9fut4P7NEdmAAAACs2IKaQ" class="cyc_term">TestOWLExportConcept</a> are concepts each of which tests some aspect of the new export schema. IntangibleIndividual The collection of wholly intangible individuals, a specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjjo5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Intangible</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjaApwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Individual</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjj45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntangibleIndividual</a> are immaterial, and thus do not have mass, color, or other tangible qualities. Examples include mathematical objects (such as numbers, functions, and relations), attributes, time intervals, space regions, and events. Excluded are sets and collections because, although intangible, they are not individuals. intangible individual object AspatialThing A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjjo5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Intangible</a> (q.v.); the collection of all things with no spatial extent or location, either in some embedding space or relative to some <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a> (q.v.). Examples include numbers, sets, collections, novels, languages, and time intervals (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxwC-ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Number_General</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjl_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SetOrCollection</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViJb5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Novel_CW</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjzepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NaturalLanguage</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAw5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeInterval</a>). Note that although anything aspatial is intangible, the converse is not true. Geographical borders, latitude lines, and the trajectories of particles, for instance, are intangible (i.e. not composed of or encoded in matter), but not aspatial, as they have spatial location and extent. See also the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpJ-nSEkJQdeC8NLkYPDBBw" class="cyc_term">AbstractThing</a>. non-spatial thing InformationAndCWs-Topic information and CWs topic Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString AISTypeByEvaluationTone AIS type by evaluation tone A collection of collections. Each element of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjhqZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AISTypeByEvaluationTone</a> is an collection of assertions used to specify the general tone of some assertion, group of assertions, or presentation about some topic. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjhqZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AISTypeByEvaluationTone</a>: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViy95wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PositiveTone</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjlDJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NegativeTone</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjWXZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NeutralTone</a>. AspatialInformationStore information A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r6-GNDEkIQdeTPvxS8JnCLA" class="cyc_term">AspatialThing</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjj45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntangibleIndividual</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvu__KJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationStore</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> is the collection of all information stores that have no spatial location. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwClAZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConceptualWork</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA1ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Microtheory</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQGTzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AbstractInformationStructure</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3N5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FieldOfStudy</a>. Although no instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> has a spatial location, some instances can have multiple spatio-temporal "embodiments". For example, an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAqJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PropositionalInformationThing</a> may be the content of several concrete documents, such as several instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvtEvQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInfoPropositional_IBT</a>); and several distinct events, such as spoken utterances, may have a certain unique <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA7JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Proposition</a> as their content (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjCQJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">containsInformation</a>). InformationStore A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwBObNJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyIntangibleIndividual</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvu__KJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationStore</a> is a tangible or intangible, concrete or abstract repository of information. The information stored in an information store is stored there as a consequence of the actions of one or more agents. Wholly intangible instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvu__KJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationStore</a> include instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvf9sZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AspatialInformationStore</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAqJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PropositionalInformationThing</a>. Some instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvu__KJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationStore</a> -- namely, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj2rJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InformationBearingObject</a>, such as copies of a newspaper at a newsstand -- are only partially intangible. store of information
