Relation sumo#causes (process,process) the process in the 1st argument brings about the process in the 2nd argument
type: binary_predicate_type the class of predicates relating two items - its valence is two
type: asymmetric_relation_type an antisymmetric and irreflexive relation
supertype: cause (situation,situation) see also rst#cause
supertype: before_situation (situation,situation) in WebKB, do not use these relations, use their inverses
supertype: relation_from_situation_to_situation (situation,situation)
supertype: relation_from_situation (situation,*)
supertype: relation_from/to_thing_of_common_kind (*) this type permits to categorize relations according to their signatures and hence offers (i) a concise way to set essential exclusion relations, and (ii) a systematic and easy-to-follow categorization
>part of: relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
supertype: relation_to_situation (*,situation) in WebKB, prefer using relations "from" a situation
supertype: relation_from/to_thing_of_common_kind (*) this type permits to categorize relations according to their signatures and hence offers (i) a concise way to set essential exclusion relations, and (ii) a systematic and easy-to-follow categorization
supertype: when_relation (?,?)
supertype: wh-/how_relation (*) this type permits to categorize relations according to the usual who/what/why/where/when/how questions ; this is a traditional but very subjective and ineffective way of categorizing relations
>part of: relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
supertype: after (?,?)
supertype: binary_relation (?,?) in WebKB, most relation types are binary and some have a variable number of arguments (as in KIF), hence this type is currently only specialized by types that I do not want to see as direct subtypes of pm#relation
supertype: relation_with_particular_property (*) this rather fuzzy type permits to group categorization schemes less common than those covered by the previous sibling categories
>part of: relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
supertype: why_relation__whyrelation (*)
supertype: wh-/how_relation (*) this type permits to categorize relations according to the usual who/what/why/where/when/how questions ; this is a traditional but very subjective and ineffective way of categorizing relations
supertype: asymmetric_relation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#asymmetric_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: irreflexive_relation__irreflexiverelation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#irreflexive_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
supertype: relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (*)
supertype: relation_with_particular_property (*) this rather fuzzy type permits to group categorization schemes less common than those covered by the previous sibling categories
supertype: antisymmetric_relation__antisymmetricrelation (?,?) this category only serves structuration purposes: it is instance of pm#antisymmetric_relation_type which is not instance of pm#class_of_inheritable_relation_type
supertype: binary_relation_with_particular_mathematical_property (?,?)
