A (currently) primitive relation that relates an information artifact to an entity.
Smith, Ceusters, Ruttenberg, 2000 years of philosophy
is about
A primitive, instance-level, relation obtaining between an information content entity and some portion of reality. Denotation is what happens when someone creates an information content entity E in order to specifically refer to something. The only relation between E and the thing is that E can be used to 'pick out' the thing. This relation connects those two together.

manufacturing process in which a number of material components are physically connected to each other to form an assembly
measurement process
planned process to determine the value of an attribute (specifically dependent continuant or temporal region or process characteristic) of an entity of interest
appraisal process
measurement process that involves evaluating, assessing, estimating, or judging the nature, value, importance, condition, or quality of some entity
material location change process
planned process that results in a material entity moving from one physical location to another
arrival process
material location change process that consists of the participating entity reaching its destination such that the travel or transport process which it is a part of is completed
departure process
material location change process that consists of the participating entity leaving its starting location such that the travel or transport process it is a part of is initiated
transport process
material location change process involving the movement of material entities by some piece of transport equipment
storage process
planned process of putting and keeping material entities in a specified location for future use
travel process
material location change process wherein one or more persons move between geographical locations
physical premises
object aggregate that has a location at some geospatial site and serves as a physical place of operation for an organization
acts on behalf of
relation from a material entity to a person or a group of agents or engineered system that holds when the material entity participates in some planned process in order to fulfill an objective for the person or group of agents or engineered system
owned by
relationship from a material entity to a person or business organization when the material entity is held by the person or business organization as legal property
owns
relationship from a person or business organization to an independent continuant when the agent holds the independent continuant as legal property
This is an alignment of the IOF Supply Chain Ontologies Library to the Platform Material Digital Core Ontology. It contains ontologies to be used in the domain of supply chain and logistics.
Platform Material Digital Application Ontology for Logistics and Supply Chain (LOG)
The logistics application ontology for use with PMD Core Ontology (PMDco). The scope of this module is the description of material science and engineering related logistics and general organization. Its is adopted from the IOF SupplyChain Module https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/supplychain/SupplyChain/
