Formerly known as description. A unitary endurant with no mass (non-physical), generically constantly depending on some agent, on some communication act, and indirectly on some agent participating in that act. Both descriptions (in the now current sense) and concepts are non-physical objects.
Instances of dol:non-physical-object can have the following properties:
| PROPERTY | TYPE | DESCRIPTION | RANGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| From class dol:non-physical-endurant | |||
| dol:abstract-location | owl:ObjectProperty | Analytical location holding between non-physical endurants and abstract regions. | dol:abstract-region |
| From class dol:endurant | |||
| dol:life | owl:FunctionalProperty | Total constant participation applied to the mereological sum of the perdurants in which an endurant participates. | dol:perdurant |
| dol:constant-participant-in | owl:ObjectProperty | dol:perdurant | |
| dol:mereologically-coincides | owl:ObjectProperty | Having the same parts at time t. | dol:endurant |
| dol:participant-in | owl:ObjectProperty | dol:perdurant | |
| dol:temporary-atomic-part | owl:ObjectProperty | Having an atom as part at a time t. | dol:endurant |
| 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-part-of | owl:ObjectProperty | 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 |
| dol:temporary-proper-part-of | owl:ObjectProperty | dol:endurant | |
| dol:total-constant-participant-in | owl:ObjectProperty | dol:perdurant | |
| dol:total-temporary-participant-in | owl:ObjectProperty | dol:perdurant | |
