WordNet 1.7.1 http://www.sekt-project.com/ 2 2 Indicates that an Agent has full control over some object. This is typically the case of wholly-owned subsidiaries and phisicall possession of goods. This is a general time expression (TIMEEX), which refers to a particular period of time, an interval. Repeating periods (like the Spring or Christmas) are not time intervals, while specific instances of theirs (like the Spring of 1944) are. A TimeInterval could collapse, in very special cases, to a time point, however in this case, in contrast to the Abstract time point (referring to some time during the day), it should be bound to a specific date, i.e. to represent a timestamp. 2 2 A particular source where the entity (description) is derived/imported/extracted from. Can be used for maintenance of knowledge bases where information from multiple sources is being imported. 2 A static event or situation, like "sitting on a chair" or "holding position". Typically, those are temporarily homogenuous, i.e. they nature is not expected/required to change within their duration. As a happening, they use to happen/take place/be true for some periods of time and may or may not have a well-defined space extension. 2 Indicates that an Agent has some ownership over an object. It allows wide interpretations from "I have a bike" to "John has shares in Fujitsu". 2 Identifies the party that introduced the entity into the KB. An artificial agent which operates in a software environment. 2 2 Any sort of service, ranging from scheduled flight or train services to weather forecast information/web serivce. Many services could be considered agenets. 2 a relation between an Information Space and its Profile An Agent is something, which can show (carry out) an independent action, whether consciously or not. Most animals are considered agents, in most contexts; so are most organizations. According to DOLCE 2.0 "objects to which we ascribe intentions, beliefs and desires". Agent here also denotes any automatic services, including web services and servers. 2 2 2 An agent fully owns an Object. In many cases this means also full control, unless the agent had transferred the control to another agent. 2 Something, which neither happens nor exists, e.g. a number or a chemical compound formula. Those are usually some symbols, invented to refer to general notions. 2 2 a relation between an User and its Profile 2 Relates an entity to and old name or alias, which is no longer considered as the proper/actual one.

Recommended best practice is to use RFC 3066 [RFC3066], which, in conjunction with ISO 639 [ISO639], defines two- and three-letter primary language tags with optional subtags. Examples include “en” or “eng” for English, “akk" for Akkadian, and “en-GB” for English used in the United Kingdom. DC2003ISO 2 "0.1" protonkm http://proton.semanticweb.org/2005/04/protonkm The information content of any sort of document. The tangible aspects are ignored. It is usually a document in free text with no formal structure or semantics. A Person is an agent (within the meaning of Agent in BULO), which is an individual who is a human being (i.e. any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae). Wordnet 2.0. 2 A relation between a company and its product 2 A lexical resource of any sort, usually part of a natural language or a specialized vocabulary. The rdf:label property defines the character string constituting the resource. 2 Relates the role to the Happening that conditions and takes on the effect of the role. 2 Determines in which organization is the position 2 Relates a particular organization to its employees. General concept with well defined (idiomatic) meaning which can have a set of distinct lexical items (serface realizations) associated with it. Such examples are: F2F, I18N, P2P, B2B, VIP, ASAP, Semantic Web. Objects are entities that could be claimed to exist - in some sense of existence. An object can play a certain role in some happenings. Objects could be substantially real - as the Buckingham Palace or a hardcopy book - or substantially imperceptible - say, an electronic document that exists only virtually, one cannot touch it. Something that happens. It can be either dynamic - like in "drawing a circle", or static - like in "being a president". In all cases, a happening (an event, a situation, or a time period) has a certain (usually quite concrete) temporal positioning - in the simplest case this is one, denoted by start and end points in time. 2 An entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource. Examples of Creator include a person, an organization, or a service. Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity. (DC2003ISO, Creator) Used to indicate entities, imported from reliable (trusted) sources, like GNS, World Fact Book, GATE/MUSE/KIM gazetteers, but also any other trusted source. Any sort of a topic or theme, explicitly defined for classification purposes. As long as any other class or entity can play the role of a topic, the instances of this class are only those concepts, which are defined to serve as topics. The topic class is the natural top-class for linkage of logically informal taxonomies. 2 A topic of the content of the resource. Comment: Typically, Subject will be expressed as keywords, key phrases, or classification codes that describe a topic of the resource. Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary or formal classification scheme. (DC2003ISO, Subject) 2 The creator (or one of the creators) of a document. The role of an entity (usually an agent) within/during/effecting (intentionally or not) a particular happening. For instance a coordinator of a project, or a defendant in a trial, or even a material object that serves as an evidence in a trial (e.g. a weapon). The situation of a person, holding a job (employment) position within an organization. The sub-classes of this one define a number of different types of positions. Organization is a group, which is established in such a way that certain known relationships and obligations exist between the members, and/or between the organization and its members, and/or between the organization and `outsiders' (individuals or groups). includes both informal and legally constituted organizations. Organizations can act as agents - to undertake projects, to enter into agreements, to own property, etc. Most organizations have names. Almost all have at least two members. 2 Relating a statement to the agent who made it. In the case of an offer, it is the offerer. In case of contract those are the parties. In case of written statements, the creator/author and the "stater" could be different agents, dew to fact hat one agent my have prepared and/or published a statement on behalf of another. 2 where the organization is established or registered To identify a source (like a program or a module), which is capable of recognizing and generating new entities. Typically, those are not checked, and thus not trustable. An example for this is the NE-recognition process in KIM/GATE. An alias of a named entity, usually not a general term but rather a name of something. Specific names, such as John and Smith, are not aliased on themselves. However, "John Smith" and "Mr. Smith" could be. Any sort of an entity of interest, usually something existing, happening, or purely abstract. Entities may have several - more than one - names or aliases. 2 A group of agents, which is not organized in any way. This could be the group of people within a bus or the shareholders of a company. The general concept of a product model, say, Ford T. The instances of this class are not specific instances of the product - the latter are just objects. Analogous to FormalProductType in Cyc. KIM is a platform for semantic annotation and multi-paradigm search over documents, data, and knowledge. http://www.ontotext.com/kim/ 2 An entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource. Examples of Contributor include a person, an organization, or a service. DC2003ISO InformationResource denotes an information resources with identity, as defined in Dublin Core (DC2003ISO). InformationResource is considered any communication or message that is delivered or produced, taking into account the specific intention ot its originator, and also the supposition (and anticipation) for a particular audience or counter-agent in the process of communication (i.e. passive or active feed-back). Usually a geographic location on the earth, however any sort of 3D regions also fit here. The classification is based on the ADL Feature Type Thesaurus version 070203. Sub-classes omitted: Administrative Areas (its sub-types are put directly under Location), Territorial waters, Tribal areas. For each specific type, the corresponding NIMA GNS designators (DSG) are given. 2 possible mixed local 2 A reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived. The present resource may be derived from the Source resource in whole or in part. Recommended best practice is to identify the referenced resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system. DC2003ISO 2
