Classification Element Defining Diagram
"Knowledge Concept" describing a genus - species relation between two "Categories".
Note that genus - species or "is-a" relations mean that any object which is an instance of the species category is also an instance of the genus category and hence will exhibit all properties exhibited in common by all instances of that genus category plus some
specific properties of its own. No more and no less.
It is also important to recognise that Associative categories can only partake in genus / species relations with other Associative categories, and that Descriptive categories can only partake in genus / species relations with other Descriptive categories.
Attributes:
Basis For Differentiation (M) (String)
A statement of the basis on which the genus "Category" has been speciated. For example, if "Infection" has the species "Bacterial Infection" and "Viral Infection", the basis for differentiation would be "Causing Organism".
Associations From:
Only One component Zero, One or Many Classification In Version

Classification In Version Defining Diagram
Describes the location of a "Classification" in a "Classification Version".
Note that the same Classification may occur in more than one Classification Version. For example, constructs may be carried forward from Read v2 to Read v3.
Associations To:
Zero, One or Many component Only One Classification Element
Many context Only One Classification System Version
Classification System Defining Diagram
"Knowledge Concept" being a collection of two or more "Classifications" into a coherent system.
Within Classification Systems, all Categories which do not form the highest level Classification are species in one or more Classifications.
All Categories which do not form lowest level Classifications are genuses in one or more Classifications.
Associations From:
Only One basis One or Many Classification System Version
Associations To:
Zero, One or Many responsible for Only One Agent

Classification System Version Defining Diagram
"Knowledge Concept" acting as a single version of a "Classification System".
Associations From:

Associations To:

Classified Property Qualifier Defining Diagram
"Subject Property Qualifier" classified by a "Property Qualifier Type".
This is distinct from the specific subtypes such as "Intention" and "Perception Of Property" and is intended to allow for a generalised qualification.
Examples:
"Laterality" and "Site" in describing characteristics.
Associations To:
Zero, One or Many classifier Only One Property Qualifier Type
Supertypes:
Subject Property Qualifier
