AirlineCompany NonAbducibleCollection The collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roVp5xVzKEdiLrQAH6RYvVA" class="cyc_term">NonAbducibleCollection</a> is a sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjl_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SetOrCollection</a>. Abductive inferences sometimes involve hypothesizing the existence of entities as part of the explanation of some assertion or set of assertions. Cyc will not hypothesize the existence of instances of the collections that are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roVp5xVzKEdiLrQAH6RYvVA" class="cyc_term">NonAbducibleCollection</a>. Roughly, abductive inferences consume conceptual / theoretical knowledge rather than produce it. So, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHQdVmB_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roVp5xVzKEdiLrQAH6RYvVA" class="cyc_term">NonAbducibleCollection</a> because Cyc should be employing existing theoretical knowledge about instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHQdVmB_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> rather than hypothesizing new instances. non abducible collection SmallCollectionOfProperlyNamedEntities Instances are collections whose extent is small (on the order of 20 instances or smaller), completely known, and instances of which are normally referred to by proper names. This class is useful for suggesting meaningful followup searches to users of search enhancement applications. small set of named entities A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViS05wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CommercialOrganization</a> (q.v.).

Note that not all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViS05wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CommercialOrganization</a>s are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQNpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Business</a>es. For example, in a franchise <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjVT5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Organization</a>, while the parent company (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjF5pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">parentCompany</a>) is regarded as a business, the sub-organizations are commercial organizations but not businesses. Also, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQNpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Business</a>es are typically <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVinsZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LegalAgent</a>s, while <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViS05wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CommercialOrganization</a>s need not be. business Business Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" 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/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" 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. prettyString airline <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViq7pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AirlineCompany</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwKSgQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TransportationCompany_Provider</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjxuZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CommercialServiceOrganization</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQNpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Business</a>.
