comment: Imports: DOLCE-Lite
comment: An Ontology of spatial relations, extending the location relations from DOLCE. OWL engineering by Aldo Gangemi.
imports: DOLCE-Lite.owl

d-spatial-location
type: ObjectProperty
comment: Analytical indirect location holding between non-physical endurants and space regions.
inverse of: d-spatial-location-of
sub property of: exact-location
domain: non-physical-endurant
range: space-region

spatial-location
type: ObjectProperty
domain: physical-endurant
sub property of: physical-location
inverse of: spatial-location-of
range: space-region
comment: Analytical location holding between physical endurants and spatial regions.

approximate-location
type: ObjectProperty
range: spatio-temporal-particular
inverse of: approximate-location-of
domain: spatio-temporal-particular
sub property of: generic-location
comment: A spatial location relation holding between any two entities but regions. It assumes a mereotopological association (part, connection, overlaps, etc.) between shared spatial regions.

material-place
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: place
comment: A relation of approximate location holding for physical endurants. It assumes a physical region that is shared by two physical endurants. Sharedness can be any mereotopological association, but no analytical definition can be done in OWL due to the lack of role value maps.
range: physical-endurant
inverse of: material-place-of
domain: physical-endurant

place
type: ObjectProperty
comment: A relation of approximate location holding between any endurant and physical endurants. It assumes a shared physical region. Sharedness can be any mereotopological association, but no analytical definition can be done in OWL due to the lack of role value maps.
inverse of: place-of
range: physical-endurant
domain: endurant
sub property of: approximate-location

participant-place
type: ObjectProperty
inverse of: participant-place-of
sub property of: approximate-location
comment: The place of a perdurant as provided by a reference region at which the spatial quality of a certain endurant is q-located.
domain: perdurant
range: endurant

descriptive-place
type: ObjectProperty
inverse of: descriptive-place-of
range: non-physical-endurant
comment: Approximate location of an endurant in a non-physical one. It assumes a shared region.AKA fiat-place.
sub property of: approximate-location
domain: endurant

descriptive-origin
type: ObjectProperty
range: non-physical-endurant
sub property of: descriptive-place
inverse of: descriptive-origin-of
domain: endurant
comment: Original location of an endurant in a non-physical one. It assumes a shared region between the first and the depend-on of the second (see descriptive place).

p-spatial-location
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: exact-location
comment: Analytical indirect location holding between perdurants and space regions.
inverse of: p-spatial-location-of
range: space-region
domain: perdurant

origin
type: ObjectProperty
range: physical-endurant
comment: The physical 'origin' of a physical endurant in the space region of the spatial quality of another physical endurant.
domain: physical-endurant
sub property of: material-place
inverse of: origin-of
