System
A class with identifier http://rds.posccaesar.org/ontology/lis14/rdl/System
| Source ontology | Industrial Data Ontology |
| is primitive | true |
| natural language definition | A 'functional object' with one or more functional parts whose functions contribute to the function of the system. |
| primitive rationale | A precise account of the nature of dependency between the function of a system, as a whole, and the functions of its parts is (likely) beyond the scope of IDO. |
| usage note | Most industrial assets are both 'system' and 'inanimate physical object'. When modelling, e.g., a pump system, that system will be an 'inanimate physical object', with the pump part related to the pump system by 'has functional part'. The domain and range restrictions on 'has functional part' then imply that the pump system has type 'system', and the pump has type 'functional object'. |
