Concept: Add

System documentation


Superconcept: Action

Definition: Add a part to an object. The new part becomes related to the object by way of the has-part relationship.

Required Relationships:

object: the thing (a Object) that's added to the base as a new part
base: the thing (a Object) that acquires the object as a new part

Other Common Relationships:

agent: the entity that caused the add to occur
instrument: the thing (e.g. tool) that is used to add the object to the base

Examples:

  1. Sara put the wheel on the car with a lug wrench.
    agent: Sara
    object: the wheel
    base: the car
    instrument: lug wrench
  2. Comment: Here "put the wheel on the car" is translated to "add the wheel as a part of the car."
