Person
A class with identifier http://rds.posccaesar.org/ontology/lis14/rdl/Person
| Source ontology | Industrial Data Ontology |
| is primitive | true |
| natural language definition | An organism that is a human. |
| primitive rationale | Providing precise semantics of what "human" amounts to is beyond the scope of IDO. |
| usage note | Don't want to use engineer in the example as an engineer is a person with a human role |
| See also | ISO 15926-2:2003 'class_of_person' |
| Example | A human being. |
| scope note | In industry use cases, subclasses of 'person' will typically require role attributions to be considered fully explicit. For example, 'maintenance engineer' is an obvious subclass of 'person', as every engineer is a person; use a 'role' to say what a maintenance engineer does. I.e., such a class may be augmented with a restriction to say that any member is the bearer of an engineering role; what the role amounts to will then be captured by the kinds of activities that count as realizations of the role. |
