The individual element describes a thing that one can talk about.

• <ontology>

None.

Behaviour¶

The individual element describes a thing that one can talk about - an entity in the domain that the ontology is describing.

All individuals are of a sort, and all predicates take individuals (of a specific sort) as arguments.

Known limitations: Note that individuals cannot be numbers.

Examples¶

Months¶

  <individual name="january" sort="month"/>
