dol:temporary-atomic-part-of owl:ObjectProperty dol:endurant
dol:temporary-part owl:ObjectProperty Being part at time t. It holds for endurants only. This is important to model parts that can change or be lost over time without affecting the identity of the whole. In FOL, this is expressed as a ternary relation, but in DLs we only can reason with binary relations, then only the necessary axiom of compresence is represented here. dol:endurant

dol:temporary-participant-in owl:ObjectProperty x participates in some of y's parts. dol:perdurant
dol:temporary-proper-part owl:ObjectProperty Being proper part at time t. It holds for endurants only. This is important to model proper parts that can change or be lost over time without affecting the identity of the whole. dol:endurant
