| notes | Currently, running the GUFO rules’ validator suggests that the following classes need to be either “specialized by a sortal or specialize another non-sortal which is in its turn specialized by a sortal”. https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000013 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000014 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000026 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000027 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000028 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000029 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000033 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000036 In fact, these classes are non-sortal and are not specialized by any class of a specific kind. We do not regard this as problematic because SCO aims to provide a general high-level layer of representation to extend within more domain-focused ontologies. SCO-extending ontologies can specialize these classes with subclasses of specific kinds thereby easily addressing and resolving this concern. “Complex system property” and “information content entity” classes specialize “aspect” class appositely. The first aims to be a grouping for different system properties. The second requires further discussion as UFO does not address presentations of information (see comment to the class)., running the GUFO rules’ validator suggests that the following classes need to be either “specialized by a sortal or specialize another non-sortal which is in its turn specialized by a sortal”. https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000013 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000014 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000026 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000027 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000028 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000029 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000033 https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000036 In fact, these classes are non-sortal and are not specialized by any class of a specific kind.
