▲
This is an ontological definition of the entity using the standard format of specifying the parent class followed by specification of characteristics that distinguish this class from others in that class
p is a process = Def. p is an occurrent that has temporal proper parts and for some time t, p s-depends_on some material entity at t. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [083-003])
Note: Definitions may show angled brackets (< and >) around some of the text to show that it is the parent term.
