General description

Name:	part of
Submitted by:	ValentinaPresutti
Also Known As:	part whole
Intent:	To represents entities and their parts.
Domains:	Parts and Collections
Competency Questions:	what is this entity part of? What are the parts of this entity?
Solution description:	--
Reusable OWL Building Block:	1 (841)
Consequences:	This Content OP allows designers to represent entities and their parts i.e., part-whole relations, with transitivity. The temporal aspect of this relations cannot be expressed with this Content OP; in order to solve this issue the time indexed part of Content OP can be used. For an intransitive part-of Content OP see componency.
Scenarios:	Brain and heart are parts of the human body, substantia nigra is part of brain.

Elements

The PartOf Content OP locally defines the following ontology elements:

Entity (owl:Class) Anything: real, possible, or imaginary, which some modeller wants to talk about for some purpose.

Entity page

hasPart (owl:ObjectProperty) A transitive relation expressing parthood between any entities, e.g. the human body has a brain as part. When specializing this Content OP, take care of restricting the domain and range appropriately, since it could be counterintuitive to use this relation arbitrarily, e.g. between animals and planets. For an intransitive part-of Content OP, see componency.

hasPart page

isPartOf (owl:ObjectProperty) A transitive relation expressing parthood between any entities, e.g. brain is a part of the human body. When specializing this Content OP, take care of restricting the domain and range appropriately, since it could be counterintuitive to use this relation arbitrarily, e.g. between animals and planets. For an intransitive part-of Content OP, see componency.
