This ontology is declared in this document both in human-readable form (what you see in front of you now) and machine-readable SHOE form (which you can see from viewing the html source of this document). The rest of this document is divided into the following sections:
Some of the ontology components listed here are deprecated, meaning that they are only provided for backward compatbility with version 1.0 of the ontology and should not be used in new documents. These components appear in red.
The following ontologies are extended by the current ontology:
An ontology may rename elements from another ontology in order to provide a shortcut for referencing that element or to provide an alternate term for it.

The following taxonomy is the collection of categories declared in this ontology. The hierarchical form is intended to show the ISA chain. Categories in [Brackets] are not defined here but are defined in an ontology extended by this one. Elements in {Braces} are additional supercategories of the category immediately before them (signifying multiple inheritance). Categories followed by an asterisk are defined in another ontology but are provided with a local alias.

Relationships are declared between one or more arguments, where each argument is either a type or a category. If the argument is a category, any subcategory of that category is valid as well. Relationships which have a local alias but are defined in another ontology are followed by an asterisk.

Constants are used to identify instances that may be commonly used with an ontology. In this section, each constant is grouped under its category.
No constants are defined.
Inference rules are used to determine what additional facts can be implied if other facts are known. They take the form of if/then rules.
No inference rules are defined.
