These terms are not guaranteed to refer to the same concept across time but are guaranteed to be consistent within a particular OWL export. Use 'cycAnnot:externalID' for unambiguously referring to a concept across OWL exports or across Cyc inference engines. AynRand Mx4rvr0Q45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA Ayn Rand Rand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand AynRand Ayn Rand AynRand Ayn Rand AynRand Ayn Rand (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/wikipediaArticleURL" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleURL</a> THING URL) means that in <font color="#ff0000">#$Wikipedia-WebSite</font> THING is described by an article located at URL wikipediaArticleURL wikipediaArticleURL <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Individual" class="cyc_term">Individual</a> is the collection of all individuals: things that are <i>not</i> sets or collections. Individuals might be concrete or abstract, and include (among other things) physical objects, events, numbers, relations, and groups. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Individual" class="cyc_term">Individual</a> might have parts or structure (including discontinuous parts); but <i>no</i> individual has elements or subsets (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/elementOf" class="cyc_term">elementOf</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/subsetOf" class="cyc_term">subsetOf</a>). Thus, an individual that has parts (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/physicalParts" class="cyc_term">physicalParts</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/groupMembers" class="cyc_term">groupMembers</a>) is <i>not</i> the same thing as either the set or the collection containing those same parts. For example, your car is an individual, but the collection of all the parts of your car is not an individual but an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Collection" class="cyc_term">Collection</a>. This collection (unlike the car itself) is abstract: it doesn't have a location, mass, or a top speed; but it does have instances, subcollections, and supercollections. In partial contrast, the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Group" class="cyc_term">Group</a> (q.v.) of parts of your car (while also not the same thing as the car itself) <i>is</i> an individual that has location and mass. Another example: A given company, the group consisting of all the company's employees, the collection of those employees, and the set of those employees are four distinct things, and only the first two are individuals. individual Individual AynRand Ayn Rand prettyString (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use.
