=== Definition properties === | |||
These properties have the weight of complete definitions. They are indisputable, as they are part of the definition of the class. Changing definitions is advisable only for clarifications. | |||
The real-world existence might be challenged, but this is still unmodelled. | |||
* [[Property:P5|has scope]] - the taxon or taxons in the scope for this conceptualization of cell type (e.g. "human neuron" has scope "Homo sapiens") | * [[Property:P5|has scope]] - the taxon or taxons in the scope for this conceptualization of cell type (e.g. "human neuron" has scope "Homo sapiens") | ||
* [[Property:P6|natural language definition]] - a natural language definition of this cell type. (e.g. "human neuron" has natural language definition "cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses). | * [[Property:P6|natural language definition]] - a natural language definition of this cell type. (e.g. "human neuron" has natural language definition "cells capable of transmitting electrical impulses). | ||
** Note that the natural language definition will likely have some ambiguity, as this is a feature of natural languages. Ideally, the description should be described by dedicated properties, allowing computable definitions, but this is an arduous, at least decade-long task. The scope doesn't need to be stated again in the natural language definition, as it is already parsed my [[Property:P5|has scope]]. | ** Note that the natural language definition will likely have some ambiguity, as this is a feature of natural languages.

=== Description properties === | |||
These properties serve to describe the classes defined by the properties above. They are disputable, and may be seem as hypothesis regarding the defined cell types. | |||
