The foundational relations of ChEBI were analyzed and rewritten to be compatible with the OBO Relation Ontology ROO) [38].
Relations is_a and part_of are used to model foundational relations.
Figure 2 depicts the extensions proposed to the UML metamodel to capture the different foundational relations of the OBO Relation Ontology.
Apart from the well-defined foundational relations is_a and part_of, EXACT includes the relations from the OBO Relational Ontology (RO) (Smith et al., 2005) located_in, has_participant and has_agent, the relations has_role and has_quality that are used in OBI, DOLCE (Gangemi et al., 2003) and HOZO (Kozaki et al., 2002), and a relation has_proposition (or has_information for the EXACT/OBI version).
The relation between an occurrent (medical procedure) and its participating continuants (physical objects or anatomical structures) at a point in time t is given by the time-indexed relation has-participant (which denotes the time in which each occurrent begins), according to the specification of foundational relations in bio-medical ontologies introduced by [ 12].
The NTDO is an ontological representation for NTD (encompassing diseases, epidemiology and geographic distribution for additional information see http://www.ntdo.ufpe.br/~ntdo), for which top-level classes and foundational relations were taken from the domain upper-level ontology BioTop (http://purl.org/biotop) (Beisswanger et al., 2008).
Oren's case proceeds from two principles he thinks foundational to relations between allies.
The purpose of upper domain ontologies is to define the foundational kinds and relations relevant to the entire domain.
Second, the argument has disturbed the traditional structure of transcendental philosophy, which consists in a linear relation between foundational conditions and founded experience.
In this paper, therefore, we focus on the argumentation studies in top science education journals in order to contribute to the understanding of the development of argumentation theory in science education in relation to their foundational grounding particularly in relation to the epistemic and linguistic aspects.
