format-version: 1.2 data-version: 2019-08-26 remark: Please see the project site https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO, the bfo2 owl discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/bfo-owl-devel, the bfo2 discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/bfo-devel, the tracking google doc http://goo.gl/IlrEE, and the current version of the bfo2 reference http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/bfo/dev/bfo2-reference.docx. This ontology is generated from a specification at https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO/tree/master/src/ontology/owl-group/specification/ and with the code that generates the OWL version in https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO/tree/master/src/tools/. A very early version of BFO version 2 in CLIF is at http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/bfo/dev/bfo.clif. remark: The BSD license on the BFO project site refers to code used to build BFO. remark: This BFO 2.0 version represents a major update to BFO and is not strictly backwards compatible with BFO 1.1. The previous OWL version of BFO, version 1.1.1 will remain available at http://ifomis.org/bfo/1.1 and will no longer be updated. The BFO 2.0 OWL is a classes-only specification. The incorporation of core relations has been held over for a later version. ontology: bfo property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Alan Ruttenberg" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Albert Goldfain" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Barry Smith" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Bill Duncan" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Bjoern Peters" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Chris Mungall" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "David Osumi-Sutherland" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Fabian Neuhaus" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "Holger Stenzhorn" xsd:string property_value: http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/contributor "James A.

If, for example, it is correct to conceive geological layers of the Earth as fiat object parts of the Earth, then even though these layers were first delineated in recent times, still existed long before such delineation and what holds of these layers (for example that the oldest layers are also the lowest layers) did not begin to hold because of our acts of delineation.Treatment of material entity in BFOExamples viewed by some as problematic cases for the trichotomy of fiat object part, object, and object aggregate include: a mussel on (and attached to) a rock, a slime mold, a pizza, a cloud, a galaxy, a railway train with engine and multiple carriages, a clonal stand of quaking aspen, a bacterial community (biofilm), a broken femur. Note that, as Aristotle already clearly recognized, such problematic cases – which lie at or near the penumbra of instances defined by the categories in question – need not invalidate these categories. The existence of grey objects does not prove that there are not objects which are black and objects which are white; the existence of mules does not prove that there are not objects which are donkeys and objects which are horses. It does, however, show that the examples in question need to be addressed carefully in order to show how they can be fitted into the proposed scheme, for example by recognizing additional subdivisions [29" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000112 "the division of the brain into regions" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000112 "the division of the planet into hemispheres" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000112 "the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000112 "the FMA:regional parts of an intact human body." xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000112 "the upper and lower lobes of the left lung" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000112 "the Western hemisphere of the Earth" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000116 "BFO 2 Reference: Most examples of fiat object parts are associated with theoretically drawn divisions" xsd:string property_value: IAO:0000600 "b is a fiat object part = Def. b is a material entity which is such that for all times t, if b exists at t then there is some object c such that b proper continuant_part of c at t and c is demarcated from the remainder of c by a two-dimensional continuant fiat boundary.

Such units play a central role in almost all domains of natural science from particle physics to cosmology. Many scientific laws govern the units in question, employing general terms (such as ‘molecule’ or ‘planet’) referring to the types and subtypes of units, and also to the types and subtypes of the processes through which such units develop and interact. The division of reality into such natural units is at the heart of biological science, as also is the fact that these units may form higher-level units (as cells form multicellular organisms) and that they may also form aggregates of units, for example as cells form portions of tissue and organs form families, herds, breeds, species, and so on. At the same time, the division of certain portions of reality into engineered units (manufactured artifacts) is the basis of modern industrial technology, which rests on the distributed mass production of engineered parts through division of labor and on their assembly into larger, compound units such as cars and laptops.
