- hasAbstractPart definition "abstractPartOf (inverse: hasAbstractPart) Relates parts and wholes of abstract entities. Abstract entities are neither processes, material objects, regions or spaces. Typical abstract entities are pieces of information. \n\nFor instance, a header is an abstract part of a jpg file.".
- hasAgent definition "agentIn (inverse: hasAgent) relates a participant with a process, with the condition that this participant is causally active in the relevant process.\nThis is the reason why agentIn is subsumed by the relation causedBy. \n\nExample: A physician is the agent in a opeeration process; a solvent is the agent in a solving process.".
- hasBranch definition "B hasBranch A if it is contiguous with B and if some flow of matter or energy of information flows form B to A.\nSchulz S, Hahn U. Towards the ontological foundations of symbolic biological theories.\nArtif Intell Med. 2007 Mar;39(3):237-50. PMID: 17321118".
- hasComponentPart definition "The non-transitive relation hasComponentPart (inverse: componentPartOf) relates components with a compound. Components strictly partition the compound, and the compound is the mereological sum of its components. A loss of some component affects the integrity of the compound, and possibly the type it instantiates, e.g. a complete vs. a defective organism. \n\nThe choice of what is a component of a compound is somewhat arbitrary, because there are several ways to divide a whole into parts. Strictly spoken, this relation should refer to some partition.\n\nComponents should be - at least - partly bona fide parts. The use of this relation also requires the commitment to an underlying granularity level. So could we consider the codons (base triples) as the components of a DNA molecule but also the single nucleotides. Note that components of a compound may also be portions of matter.\n\nExamples: my liver is a component of my organism, a carboxy group is a component of some organic acid molecule.".
- hasDuration definition "hasDuration relates a process with the time interval it covers.".
- hasGranularPart definition "hasGranularPart (inverse: granularPartOf) relate Pluralities with their constituents. The constituents are of the same sort. \n\nGenerally pluralities have a high number of grains. The loss of a grain has no effect on the sortality of the identity of the plurality.\n\nExample: A cow is a granular part of a herd of cows. A water molecule is a granular part of some amount of water".
- hasLocus definition "hasLocus (inverse: locusOf) is a very broad relation which relates an entity with the place it occurs, inheres, or is part of.\n\nSee property chains: a participant of a process at a given time is located where the process is located. \n\nExample: A heart pumping process is located in a heart.".
- hasOutcome definition "outcomeOf (inverse: hasOutcome) relates a participant to a process. This participant either\n- a) comes into being during the process\nor - b) undergoes some change during the process, so that it instantiates a different class at the end of the process \nand it constitutes (one of) the main result(s) of the process\n\nExample: a Protein molecule is the outcome of a translation process.".
- hasParticipant definition "HasParticipant (inverse: participatesIn) relates a process with a non processual entity which plays some role in the process. Process participants may exist during the whole process, remain unchanged or undergo changes; they may come into being or get out of being during the process. \n\nProcess participation is distinguished from process location.\n\nExample: \n\nAn urea molecule which is excreted in a renal filtration process is participant of this process.\n\nA person who undergoes an operation is participant of this process.".
- hasPatient definition "patientIn (inverse: hasPatient) relates a participant with a process, with the condition that that this participant is not causally active. \n\nExample: A prey is the patient in a hunting process; a solute is the patient in a solving process.".
- hasPhysicalPart definition "hasPhysicalPart (inverse: physicalPartOf) obtains between physical objects. The distinction between parthood and locatedness is complex and does not obey strict criteria. \nThis relation is reflexive, i.e. every physical object has itself as a physical part.\n\nNote that for abstract entities like information artefacts there is a separate relation pair \"abstractPartOf\" and \"hasAbstractPart\"\n\nFor processes there are the relations \"hasProcessualPart\" and \"processualPartOf\"".
- hasPointInTime definition "hasPointInTome relates a processual entity with some point in the interval it occupies. \nIf there is no temporal extension (process boundary) it relates it to the time it occurs.".
- hasProcessQuality definition "processQualityOf (abstract: hasProcessQuality) links a quality that further characterizes a process to this process. Process qualities are asserted where the process cannot sufficiently be described by the qualities of its participants only. \n\nExample: The process of heart beating has the process quality heart rate.".
- hasProcessRole definition "processRoleOf (abstract: hasProcessRole) links a role attributed to a process to this process. Process roles are asserted where the process cannot sufficiently be described by the roles of its participants only. \n\nExample: The process of injuring has the process role \"allowed\" in case of a surgical intervention agreed by both the patient and the doctor.".
- hasProperPhysicalPart definition "hasProperPhysicalPart (inverse: properPhysicalPartOf) obtains between physical objects. The distinction between parthood and locatedness is complex and does not obey strict criteria. \nThis relation is irreflexive, i.e. a physical object cannot have itself as a physical proper part.\n\nNote that for abstract entities like information artefacts there is a separate relation pair \"abstractPartOf\" and \"hasAbstractPart\"\n\nFor processes there are the relations \"hasProcessualPart\" and \"processualPartOf\"\n\nExamples: my thumb is a proper physical part of my hand, this keyboard is a proper physical part of my computer.".
- hasRealization definition "Realization occurs if a disposition or function manifests itself as a process. \n\nExample: the disposition of a bird to fly (which exists even when it does not fly) is realized by its process of flying.".
- inheresIn definition "inheresIn (inverse: bearerOf) relates a quality, role, function, disposition, or information object with the physical entity it depends on.\n\n(Note that for processes there is a separate relation pair \"hasProcessQuality\" and \"processQualityOf\")\n\nExample: a color inheres in a paint, the ability to fly inheres in a bird, or a pdf file inheres in a USB stick.".
- locusOf definition "hasLocus (inverse: locusOf) is a very broad relation which relates an entity with the place it occurs, inheres, or is part of.\n\nSee property chains: a participant of a process at a given time is located where the process is located. \n\nExample: A heart pumping process is located in a heart.".

- originatingPhysicalPartOf definition "originatingPhysicalPartOf (inverse: hasOriginatingPhysicalPart)\n\nAn originating physical part is a proper physical part that has never ceased to be part of the object it is related to. \n\nExample: my brain is an originating physical part of my body".
- participatesIn definition "HasParticipant (inverse: participatesIn) relates a process with a non processual entity which plays some role in the process.
