Comment
  • In this class the concept of role and part are superimposed (the term part is also used to define the role played by an actor).

Here entities are categorized according to their relation with the whole, i.e. how they contribute to make a specific whole, and not what they are as separate entities.

This class is expected to host the definition of world objects as they appear in its relation with the surrounding whole (being a part implies being surrounded by something bigger to which it contributes).

For example, an output is a part (a role or the final stage) of a process, but its specific nature as a whole (e.g. car, service) is categorized under the whole class branch. [en]
