E55 Type

This property allows an item to be declared as an example of an E55 Type or taxon.

The taxonomic role renders the specific relationship of this example to the Type, such as prototypical, archetypical lectotype, etc. The taxonomic role lectotype is not associated with the Type Creation (E83) itself, but selected in a later phase.

This property identifies the E55 Type, which is created in an E83Type Creation activity.

This property identifies a super-Type to which an E55 Type is related.

It allows Types to be organised into hierarchies. This is the sense of broader term generic (BTG) as defined in ISO 2788

This property defines the kind of objects used in an E7 Activity, when the specific instance is either unknown or not of interest, such as use of a hammer.

This property links an instance of E71 Man-Made Stuff to an E55 Type of usage.

It creates a property between specific man-made things, both physical and immaterial, to Types of intended methods and techniques of use. Note: A link between specific man-made things and a specific use activity should be expressed using P19 was intended use of (was made for).
