| Name | Abbreviation | Description |
|---|---|---|
| assignment | A | Captures the assignment of an IUI to a particular (or instance) |
| particular to universal | PtoU | Captures the assertion that a particular, identified by an IUI, is related to a universal by a particular relation. It is typically used for the instance of relation. |
| temporal entity | Te | Captures the assignment of an IUI to a temporal entity, as well as the basic type (interval vs. instant) of the temporal entity. This template is a "shortcut" combination of assignment and particular-to-universal for temporal entities. It and the Ten template help to reduce significantly the number of templates needed to capture temporal entities and their names. |
| temporal entity name | Ten | Captures the name of a temporal entity (e.g. "2013-10" for the month of October in the Gregorian Calendar according to the ISO 8601 standard). Names of other entities are explicitly represented with an A template (assign IUI to name), a PtoP template (relate name to the entity it designates), and a PtoDR template (relate name to its concretized form). |
| particular to particular | PtoP | Captures the assertion that two particulars are related by a particular relation such as part of. |
| particular lacks universal | PtoLackU | Captures the assertion that a particular lacks a specific relation r to any instance of a universal. |
| particular to concept | PtoCo | Captures the annotation of a particular with a concept from a concept-based terminology. It does NOT assert that the particular is an instance of a given type (or universal), is related to other particulars by specific relations, or lacks a relation to any instance of a given universal. |
| particular to digital entity | PtoDE | |
