A CognitiveAgent that is not limited to the physical world
Supernatural Being
Natural Language
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
The &%subclass of &%HumanLanguages which
are not designed and which evolve from generation to generation. This
&%Class includes all of the national languages, e.g. English, Spanish,
Japanese, etc. Note that this class includes dialects of natural
languages.
Man
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
The class of &%Male &%Humans.
Populace
A group identified by common residence in a City or StateOrProvince. At the level of Nation, this should generally be EthnicGroup. Unlike EthnicGroup, they need not have cultural or ethnic features in common.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%WaterArea whose &%Water is saline, e.g.
oceans and seas.
Salt Water Area
Group
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%Collection of &%Agents, e.g. a flock
of sheep, a herd of goats, or the local Boy Scout troop.
City
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%LandArea of relatively small size, inhabited
by a community of people, and having some sort of political structure.
Note that this class includes both large cities and small settlements
like towns, villages, hamlets, etc.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%Group whose &%members originate from
the same &%GeographicArea or share the same &%Language and/or cultural
practices.
Ethnic Group
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%Group whose &%members share a belief or
set of beliefs.
For NTN, this covers groups defined by a particular set of beliefs (orthodox or heretical) which are informal, rather than formal, in membership and activity.
Belief Group
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
Any &%Group whose &%members are
exclusively &%Humans.
Group of People
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
&%Propositions are &%Abstract entities that express a complete thought or a set of such thoughts. As an example, the formula '(instance Yojo Cat)' expresses the &%Proposition that the entity named Yojo is an element of the &%Class of Cats. Note that propositions are not restricted to the content expressed by individual sentences of a &%Language. They may encompass the content expressed by theories, books, and even whole libraries. It is important to distinguish &%Propositions from the &%ContentBearingObjects that express them. A &%Proposition is a piece of information, e.g. that the cat is on the mat, but a &%ContentBearingObject is an &%Object that represents this information. A &%Proposition is an abstraction that may have multiple representations: strings, sounds, icons, etc. For example, the &%Proposition that the cat is on the mat is represented here as a tring of graphical characters displayed on a monitor and/or printed on paper, but it can be represented by a sequence of sounds or by some non-latin alphabet or by some cryptographic form
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
Any &%SelfConnectedObject that expresses
information.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003

to bring about some sort of political change.
State or Province
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
Administrative subdivisions of a
&%Nation that are broader than any other political subdivisions that
may exist. This &%Class includes the states of the United States, as
well as the provinces of Canada and European countries.
Here it covers both provinces and districts.
The attribute of living in a particular City or Province. Unlike Ethnicity, which is permanent, Residency can change.
Belonging to the citizenry of a country (e.g. Roman).
Nation
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
The broadest &%GeopoliticalArea, i.e. &%Nations are
&%GeopoliticalAreas that are not part of any other overarching and
comprehensive governance structure (excepting commonwealths and other sorts
of loose international organizations).
Note that modern nations referred to in the New Testament (Spain,
Italy, Libya) are typically not instances of Nation, but rather
of Region (if the borders are indefinite) or of LandArea.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%WaterArea whose &%Water is not saline,
e.g. most rivers and lakes.
Fresh Water Area
Cognitive Agent
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A &%SentientAgent with responsibilities
and the ability to reason, deliberate, make plans, etc. This is
essentially the legal/ethical notion of a person. Note that, although
&%Human is a subclass of &%CognitiveAgent, there may be instances of
&%CognitiveAgent which are not also instances of &%Human. For example,
chimpanzees, gorillas, dolphins, whales, and some extraterrestrials
(if they exist) may be &%CognitiveAgents.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
An element of an alphabet, a set of numerals, etc.
Note that a &%Character may or may not be part of a &%Language. &%Character
is a subclass of &%SymbolicString, because every instance of &%Character is
an alphanumeric sequence consisting of a single element.
Geographic Area
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
A geographic location, generally having
definite boundaries. Note that this differs from its immediate superclass
&%Region in that a &%GeographicArea is a three-dimensional &%Region of the
earth. Accordingly, all astronomical objects other than earth and all
one-dimensional and two-dimensional &%Regions are not classed under
&%GeographicArea.
The attribute of ascribing to a ReligiousBeliefSystem (which includes philosophies).
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
Any &%GeographicArea which is associated
with some sort of political structure. This class includes &%Lands,
&%Cities, districts of cities, counties, etc. Note that the identity
of a &%GeopoliticalArea may remain constant after a change in borders.
Geopolitical Area
An organization of propositions into an identifiable belief system. A person who holds to a belief system can be considered a member of the corresponding BeliefGroup.
Mountain
Wordnet: "a land mass that projects well above its surroundings; higher than a hill. "
Used here for things referred to as "mount", even though some of these might seem
like hills to well-traveled observers.
Object
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
Corresponds roughly to the class of ordinary
objects. Examples include normal physical objects, geographical regions,
and locations of &%Processes, the complement of &%Objects in the &%Physical
class. In a 4D ontology, an &%Object is something whose spatiotemporal
extent is thought of as dividing into spatial parts roughly parallel to the
time-axis.
Attributes of people, overlapping with the class hierarchy under suo:Group: this is unsatisfactory.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
Something or someone that can act on its own and
produce changes in the world.
Agent
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003

God
Self-documenting
Evil Supernatural Being
Class including Satan and other malevolent supernatural beings. Supposed or imaginary deities are of class SupernaturalBeing.
MILO: &%FixedHoliday is the class of &%Holidays
whose observance is fixed to recurrences of the calendar day that the
holiday commemorates.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
An &%Organization is a corporate or similar institution. The &%members of an &%Organization typically have a common purpose or function. Note that this class also covers divisions, departments, etc. of organizations. For example, both the Shell Corporation and the accounting department at Shell would both be instances of &%Organization. Note too that the existence of an &%Organization is dependent on the existence of at least one &%member (since &%Organization is a subclass of &%Collection). Accordingly, in cases of purely legal organizations, a fictitious &%member
should be assumed.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
An area which is predominantly solid ground,
e.g. a &%Nation, a mountain, a desert, etc. Note that a &%LandArea may
contain some relatively small &%WaterAreas. For example, Australia is
a &%LandArea even though it contains various rivers and lakes.
Land Area
For latitude and longitude: handled more generally in SUO
Geographic Coordinate

SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003

spouse of
Louw-Nida identifier, keying specific Greek terms (and their English translations) to their taxonomy of semantic domains. A string like "33.X'.439" identifies the term sumballo, which can be translated as "to express differences of opinion in a forceful way". In their scheme, this has domain index 33 (Communication), with sub-domain index X' (Dispute, Debate). The final integer index uniquely defines this term (but the same term may have multiple senses). The sub-domain index can be determined from the term index, but it seems helpful to include both. Note the possible values of the sub-domain index are A-Z, then A'-Z', etc.
native place
Birthplace, or place in which a person grows up. Unlike residentOf, only one possible value. residentPlace is to be preferred unless the birthplace relationship is clearly identified.

Luke 3:23 has "Joseph, son of Heli", though Matthew has Joseph's father named Jacob. Here I've represented the opinion that Joseph was actually son-in-law of Heli, and that Luke's geneaology describes Mary's lineage rather than Joseph's.
