Process Profile
type: Class
subclass of: BFO_0000003
definition: An occurrent that is an occurrent part of some process by virtue of the rate, or pattern, or amplitude of change in an attribute of one or more participants of said process.
example: On a somewhat higher level of complexity are what we shall call rate process profiles, which are the targets of selective abstraction focused not on determinate quality magnitudes plotted over time, but rather on certain ratios between these magnitudes and elapsed times. A speed process profile, for example, is represented by a graph plotting against time the ratio of distance covered per unit of time. Since rates may change, and since such changes, too, may have rates of change, we have to deal here with a hierarchy of process profile universals at successive levels; One important sub-family of rate process profiles is illustrated by the beat or frequency profiles of cyclical processes, illustrated by the 60 beats per minute beating process of John’s heart, or the 120 beats per minute drumming process involved in one of John’s performances in a rock band, and so on. Each such process includes what we shall call a beat process profile instance as part, a subtype of rate process profile in which the salient ratio is not distance covered but rather number of beat cycles per unit of time. Each beat process profile instance instantiates the determinable universal beat process profile. But it also instantiates multiple more specialized universals at lower levels of generality, selected from rate process profilebeat process profileregular beat process profile3 bpm beat process profile4 bpm beat process profileirregular beat process profileincreasing beat process profileand so on.In the case of a regular beat process profile, a rate can be assigned in the simplest possible fashion by dividing the number of cycles by the length of the temporal region occupied by the beating process profile as a whole. Irregular process profiles of this sort, for example as identified in the clinic, or in the readings on an aircraft instrument panel, are often of diagnostic significance.; The simplest type of process profiles are what we shall call ‘quality process profiles’, which are the p…

ont00001760: Event Ontology

Act of Estimation
type: Class
subclass of: Act of Measuring
comment: Although the boundary between Act of Estimation and guessing is vague, estimation can be partially distinguished from guessing in that every Act of Estimation has as input some relevant information; whereas an act of guessing can occur sans information (or at least sans pertinent information). For example, if Mr. Green were asked how many blades of grass are in his lawn, he could simply choose a number (i.e. he could guess) or he could estimate the number by counting how many baldes of grass are in 1 square foot of his lawn, measuring the square footage of his lawn, and then multiplying these values to arrive at a number. Hence, many estimates may be loosely considered to be educated guesses.
comment: Note that, while every Act of Measuring arguably involves some degree of estimation (for example, a measuring instrument rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth or an Agent reading an analog display), it would be a mistake to classify all Acts of Measuring as Acts of Estimation. This holds even for cases (e.g. census taking) in which sofisticated estimations are often more accurate than other means of measuring (e.g. enumeration).
alternative label: Act of Approximation
definition: An Act of Measuring that involves the comparison of a measurement of a similar Entity or of a portion of the Entity being estimated to produce an approximated measurement of the target Entity.
example: measuring how much time a train will add to your commute by measuring how long it takes for 10 train cars to pass a given point and then combining this information with an estimate of how many train cars are in a typical train based on your past experience
example: measuring the amount of time required to do a task based on how long it took to do a similar task in the past
example: measuring the height of a building by counting the number of floors and multiplying it by the height of an average floor in an average building
example: measuring the property value of a house based on its square footage and the average cost per square foot of other houses in the area
scope note: In all cases, the Agent in an Act of Estimation either lacks complete information, lacks access to the relevant information, or chooses not to use the complete information (perhaps to save money or time) about the thing being estimated; instead, the Agent uses some or all of the relevant information that the Agent does have as a basis for arriving at the estimate.

comment: An End of Life Stasis (EoL) is distinguished from a Stasis of Partially Mission Capable or Stasis of Non-Mission Capable in that EoL is more inclusive such that the participating Artifact may be either Partially or Non-Mission Capable. Additionally, EoL applies only to Artifacts and is typically determined in relation to its original mission and designed primary functions. In contrast, an Artifact's level of Mission Capability depends on the requirements of the mission under consideration such that a given Artifact may simultaneously be Fully Mission Capable for mission1, Partially Mission Capable for mission2, and Non-Mission Capable for mission3.

Act of Prediction
type: Class
subclass of: Planned Act
comment: An Act of Prediction may involve the use of some or no relevant information. An Act of Prediction that utilizes relevant information may also be (or at least involve) an Act of Estimation. Hence, these two classes are not disjoint. Furthermore, neither class subsumes the other since estimates can be made about existing entities and not all predictions produce measurements (e.g. predicting that it will rain tomorrow).
definition: A Planned Act that involves the generation of a Predictive Information Content entity that is intended to describe an uncertain possible future event, value, entity, or attribute of an entity.
example: a chess master predicting the next 8 moves his opponent will make
example: predicting that a particular stock will double in value over the next fiscal quarter
example: using sample exit polls data to predict the winners of an election
scope note: Predictions can only be made about things that are not yet the case (i.e. future things) and are further restricted to being about things that do not have a probability of either 1 (necessary) or 0 (impossible). For example, assuming that no organism is immortal, one cannot predict of a given organism that it will eventually die; however, one may predict uncertain things about the organism's eventual death, such as its precise cause or time.

Act of Appraisal
type: Class
subclass of: Act of Measuring
comment: Note that, while most if not all Acts of Appraisal involve some estimating and many Acts of Estimation involve some appraising (i.e. these classes are not disjoint), neither class subsumes the other. For example, some Acts of Appraisal (e.g. a tax assessor appraising the value of a building) impart a normative element to the measured value while others (e.g. a gustatory appraisal that fresh green beans taste better than canned green beans) involve complete information. Furthermore, many Acts of Estimation (e.g. estimating the height of a tree) are concerned solely with determining a numerical value (as opposed to the nature, value, importance, condition, or quality).
definition: An Act of Measuring that involves evaluating, assessing, estimating, or judging the nature, value, importance, condition, or quality of something or someone.
example: a food critic rating the quality of a restaurant's ambiance, service, and food
example: a mechanic assessing whether a damaged vehicle is repairable
example: an insurance agent appraising the financial value of a building
scope note: In the context of an Act of Appraisal, the terms 'value', 'condition', and 'quality' do not have the same meanings as their counterparts that are defined in the Common Core Ontologies. For example, a knife may be appraised to be of high quality if it is sharp and sturdy or to be of inferior quality if it is dull or fragile.
