Concept: Sequence

System documentation


Superconcept: Aggregate

Definition: A Sequence is a linearly ordered collection of individuals.

Other Common Relationships:

first-element: the first element in the Sequence
element: the elements that make up the Sequence
number-of-elements: the number of elements in the Sequence

Examples:

  1. John was the first of five patients that the doctor saw
    first-element: John
    number-of-elements: five
  2. he played the trumps in sequence
    Comment: It is not necessary to specify a number-of-elements or to list the element of an ensemble. If you do, the system will try to maintain consistency by requiring that the number of element is at least as large as the specified number-of-elements
