- ProteinSubunit definition "A protein molecule that assembles with other protein molecules to form a protein complex. May have its own function. However, most proteinsubunits do not gain functionality until associated with the other subunits.".
- Radiation definition "process in which energy-rich particles or electromagnetic waves participate".
- RegulatoryBody definition "organization that has the function of issuing regulations or laws".
- SocialAction definition "action that targets a population".
- SpatialRegion definition "An independent continuant entity that is neither a bearer of qualities nor inheres in any other entity (snap:SpatialRegion)".
- Treating definition "action with the intention to produce a positive effect on a biological organism or in which a malfunctioning is relieved or disrupted.".
- TwoDimensionalBiologicalEntity definition "surface or plane in a biological entity".
- UnicellularOrganism definition "Organisms that (always or in certain initial stages) consist of a single cell. We conceive organisms in a material sense. Therefore we do not assume any ontological difference between a monocellular organism and the cell it is made of.".
- UsingAction definition "action that relates a user with an object he/she uses".
- abstractPartOf 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\nExample: a header is an abstract part of a jpg file.".
- branchOf definition "A is a branch of B 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".
- continuousWith definition "Contiguous with a clear bona fide boundary between the connected parts.\nSchulz S, Hahn U. Towards the ontological foundations of symbolic biological theories.\nArtif Intell Med. 2007 Mar;39(3):237-50. PMID: 17321118".
- cooccurringWith definition "The relation coocurring with relates two processes if their temporal extensions overlap.".
- denotedBy definition "denotedBy (inverse: denotes) relates entities with symbols, which are information entities. In contrast to encoding, the denoted entity is completely independent on the denoting one. \n\nExample: The inflamation of a sinus is denoted by the word \"Sinusitis\", as well as by the ICD code \"J10\"".
- denotes definition "denotedBy (inverse: denotes) relates entities with symbols, which are information entities. In contrast to encoding, the denoted entity is completely independent on the denoting one. \n\nExample: The inflamation of a sinus is denoted by the word \"Sinusitis\", as well as by the ICD code \"J10\"".
- derivedInto definition "DerivesFrom (inverse: derivedInto) holds between distinct material objects when one succeeds the other across a temporal divide in such a way that at least a biologically significant portion of the matter of the earlier object is included into the later. \n\nThere is some instant of time t such that the first object exists only prior to and the second one only subsequent to t. \n\nThese relations are borrowed from the OBO Relation Ontology\n\nExample:\n\"Three simple kinds of instance-level derivation can then be distinguished (Figure 3): first, the succession of one single continuant by another single continuant across a temporal threshold (for example, this blastocyst derives from this zygote); second, the fusion of two or more continuants into one continuant (for example, this zygote derives from this sperm and from this ovum); and third, the fission of an earlier single continuant to create a plurality of later continuants (for example, these promyelocytes derive from this myeoloblast). \" from http://genomebiology.com/2005/6/5/R46".
- encodedBy definition "EncodedBy (inverse: encodes) relates entities with symbols, which are information entities. In contrast to denotation, encoding entails that the makeup of the encoded entity is determined by the code. There is a dependence of the former on the latter. Note that the association of human-made codes with entities (e.g. for coding and classification systems like ICD-10) is nothing more than denotation and is therefore not in the scope of the encodedBy (encodes) relation.\n\nExample: A material gene sequence is related to a sequence of nucleotide symbols (like ACCGATTGA)".
- granularPartOf 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".
- hasOriginalPart definition "hasOriginalPart (inverse: originalPartOf). \n\noriginal parts of A are no longer parts of A but were parts of A when they came into existence. \n\nExample:\nApples harvested from an apple tree, tissue samples in a lab.".
- hasOriginatingPhysicalPart 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".
- hasProcessualPart definition "hasProcessualPart (inverse: processualPartOf) relates a process with a subprocess (process part).\n\nExample: G1 phase is a processual part of the process mitosis.".
- isAbout definition "replaced by denotes".
- outcomeOf 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.".
- physicallyBoundedBy definition "physicallyBounds (inverse: physically boundedBy) relates a three-dimensional physical object with its two dimensional boundary. \n\nExample: the surface of my liver physically bounds my liver.".
- physicallyDisconnectedFrom definition "No sharing of parts and no sharing of boundaries. \n\nSchulz S, Hahn U. Towards the ontological foundations of symbolic biological theories.\nArtif Intell Med. 2007 Mar;39(3):237-50. PMID: 17321118".
- physicallySurroundedBy definition "Partly or completely covering from outside (establishing boundaries, enclosing, confining, enclosing, circumscribing)".
- physicallyTraverses definition "crossing over and crossing through".
- precededBy definition "precedes (inverse: precededBy) relates two processes, one of which ends or totally happens before the second one begins. \n\nExample: fecundation preceeds embryonic development.".
- processRoleOf 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.".
- touches definition "Abutting without mechanical connection.\nSchulz S, Hahn U. Towards the ontological foundations of symbolic biological theories.\nArtif Intell Med. 2007 Mar;39(3):237-50. PMID: 17321118".
