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. echinacea The collection of drugs which are derived from the echinacea plant. Popular especially in Germany as a treatment for the common cold. EchinaceaDerivedDrug http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinacea echinacea pallida echinacea purpurea e. angustifolia echinacea angustifolia e. pallida e. purpurea PharmaceuticalType drug Chemical compounds which have known biological effects and are consumed in order to produce those effects (or some of them, anyway). Note that not all instances of each of these are consumed to produce those effects. (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1fXpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nitroglycerine</a> would be an example - sometimes it's consumed for its coronary effects, but sometimes it's consumed in explosions.) This collection was created to distinguish between e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWW-gZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TetracyclineAntibiotic</a> and a mixture whose <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1ITpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">constituents_Active</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWW-gZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TetracyclineAntibiotic</a>, but in fact only contains 1% of that substance. echinacea The collection of drugs which are derived from the echinacea plant.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv8FjPpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DrugSubstance</a> is something that can be introduced into an organism's body to produce certain physiological effects. This collection includes naturally-occurring substances, as well as manufactured substances (for the latter, see the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViu95wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DrugProduct</a>).

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjon5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mixture</a> is a homogeneous partially tangible thing composed of two or more different constituents (see the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjSd5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">constituents</a>) which have been mixed. The inputs to this mixing do not form chemical bonds among themselves, and at a later time the mixture may be separated back out into these inputs. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjon5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mixture</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjI8JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Blood</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvgC2EpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mud</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjADJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Air</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi0TZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CarbonatedBeverage</a>. Note that each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjon5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mixture</a> has a composition but not a structure; thus, the following are _not_ instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjon5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Mixture</a>, since all have some structure: a wet sponge, a person, or a portion of plywood. mixture Mixture 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 echinacea The collection of drugs which are derived from the echinacea plant.
