Virtual Materials Marketplace (VIMMP) project consortium
Combined ontologies developed or co-developed by the VIMMP project
The authors acknowledge funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under grant agreement no. 760907, Virtual Materials Marketplace (VIMMP).
Combined ontology release dated 2nd January 2021
relates a PaaSPort 'Characteristic' to a 'PaaSParameter'
has quantity kind
X conceptual_necessity Y == for some property P, A concept for X, B concept for Y, in all realizations [some A] P [some B]
X conceptual_possibility Y == for some property P, A concept for X, B concept for Y, in some realization [all A] P [all B]
:X viprs:conceptualizes :Y == the conceptualization :X is more (or equally) generic individual than :Y; in particular, this applies to two cases: 1) :X represents the concept :x, and :Y is an individual of :x. 2) :X represents the concept :x, while :Y represents the concept :y which is a subclass of :x (and hence, :X viprs:is_broader_than :Y). In particular, conceptualizes is a subproperty of is_sign_for (:X is_sign_for :Y, as is clear from the above), and also of n_loc_or_rnoc, i.e., occurrence of :Y necessarily implies an occurrence of :X, as a consequence of :X being more generic.
X enables Y == (X satisfies_requirement_of Y) and (X can_cooccur_with Y), fitting the semantics commonly associated with providing a feature or capability
X has_numerical_part_of_sign Y == there is a sign Z for X; the sign Z has a proper part Y that is a number object
X has_requirement_satisfied_by Y == in all realizations, X does not occur or [some B] occurs, where B conceptualizes Y
X has_subsign Y == X and Y are signs, there is a sign X' that shares a referent (represented object) with X, and there is a sign Y' that shares a referent with Y, such that X' has_proper_part Y'; in other words, X and Y can be rewritten, retaining their meaning at least in one particular respect, such that the alternate formulation of Y is a proper part of the alternate formulation of X; remark: if X and Y are signs, X has_proper_part Y implies X has_subsign Y
X has_symbolic_part_of_sign Y == there is a sign Z for X; the sign Z has a proper part Y that is a symbolic entity
X has_symbolic_part_of_sign Y == there is a sign Z for X; the sign Z has a proper part Y that is a string object
immanent relation, i.e., a relation between immanent entities
X individual_necessity Y == for some P, in all realizations X P Y
X individual_possibility Y == for some P, in some realization X P Y
(A is broader than B): A represents a concept that is a superclass of the concept represented by B
X is_enabled_by Y == (X has_requirement_satisfied_by Y) and (X can_cooccur_with Y), i.e., a) there is a requirement for the occurrence of X that is satisfied by the occurrence of Y, and b) it is actually possible that X occurs in this way, facilitated by Y
(A is narrower than B): A represents a concept that is a subclass of the concept represented by B
X is_sign_for_potential_cooccurrent_of Y == X is_sign_for Z, and Z can_cooccur_with Y
X is_subsign_of Y == X and Y are signs, there is a sign X' that shares a referent (represented object) with X, and there is a sign Y' that shares a referent with Y, such that X' is_proper_part_of Y'; in other words, X and Y can be rewritten, retaining their meaning at least in one particular respect, such that the alternate formulation of X is a proper part of the alternate formulation of Y; remark: if X and Y are signs, X is_proper_part_of Y implies X is_subsign_of Y
X mutual_independence Y == (X can occur without Y) and (Y can occur without X)
X mutual_requirement Y == (X satisfies_requirement_of Y) and (Y satisfies_requirement_of X)
X n_lnoc_cor_rnoc Y == in all realizations, [some A] does not occur or [some B] does not occur; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y
X n_lnoc_cor_roc Y == in all realizations, [some A] does not occur or [some B] occurs; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y
X n_lnoc_or_rnoc Y == in all realizations, X does not occur or Y does not occur
X n_lnoc_or_roc Y == in all realizations, X does not occur or Y occurs
X n_loc_cor_rnoc Y == in all realizations, [some A] occurs or [some B] does not occur; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y
X n_loc_cor_roc Y == in all realizations, [some A] occurs or [some B] occurs; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y
X n_loc_or_rnoc Y == in all realizations, X occurs or Y does not occur
X n_loc_or_roc Y == in all realizations, X occurs or Y occurs
X p_lnoc_and_rnoc Y == in some realization, X does not occur and Y does not occur
X p_lnoc_and_roc Y == in some realization, X does not occur and Y occurs
X p_lnoc_cand_rnoc Y == in some realization, [no A] occurs and [no B] occurs; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y
X p_lnoc_cand_roc Y == in some realization, [no A] occurs and [all B] occur; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y
X p_loc_and_rnoc Y == in some realization, X occurs and Y does not occur
X p_loc_and_roc Y == in some realization, X occurs and Y occurs
X p_loc_cand_rnoc Y == in some realization, [all A] occur and [no B] occurs; therein, A conceptualizes X, and B conceptualizes Y

Also, it is supposed to be incompatible with (owl:propertyDisjointWith) has_feature, but the OWL language does not allow to impose this constraint
