naturalLanguageDefinition | If x 'has functional part' y, then x is a 'system' of which y is a part, and y has one or more functions that contribute to the function of x. |
primitiveRationale | The notion of "contributing function" is not fully accounted for in IDO. |
usageNote | 'has functional part' is used to represent the functional break-down of a system. Where x is a functional part of a system y, the realisation of one or more functions of x contributes to the performance of y. |
If 'has part' relationship is modeled between Function/Disposition instances, 'has functional part' can be inferred between the objects that are bearers of the respective functions/dispositions if the corresponding rules are implemented. | |
'has functional part' provides a compact way of modeling that is not expressive enough to model multiple functional breakdowns. Note that modeling 'has part' directly between Function/Disposition instances gives a higher flexibility and precision, in particular when objects have multiple functions or dispositions. | |
Note that, for physical objects, 'has functional part' is a specialization of 'has arranged part'. | |
