An IP4NetworkAddress is equivalent to an IPAddress along with a subnet mask. Note that the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IPAddress" class="cyc_term">IPAddress</a>, being the address of a single computer, is just a IP4NetworkAddress with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. SIN A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UniqueID" class="cyc_term">UniqueID</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDNumber" class="cyc_term">IDNumber</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialInsuranceNumber_Canada" class="cyc_term">SocialInsuranceNumber_Canada</a> is a nine-digit unique identification number used to register Canadian citizens or residents with Canada's employment insurance and pension plans. SocialInsuranceNumber-Canada MGRS zone code The Military Grid Reference System is the geographic standard used by the United States Armed Forces and NATO for locating any point on the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PlanetEarth" class="cyc_term">PlanetEarth</a> with a 2 to 10 character <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Geocode" class="cyc_term">Geocode</a>. It is always displayed in an even number of numeral characters preceded by an alpha-numeric code describing the larger Earth area to which it belongs. A two digit numeral code after the alpha-numeric prefix implies a precision of 10km, and a ten digit code corresponds to a 1m precision with intermediate steps of 1km, 100m, and 10m. MGRSZoneCode DirectoryPathname <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DirectoryPathname" class="cyc_term">DirectoryPathname</a> is the collection of computer filesystem directory pathnames. Pathnames are intended to identify directories on a given filesystem. For example, '/cyc/ke/' is a directory pathname which denotes a directory on the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cycorp" class="cyc_term">Cycorp</a> unix filesystem. Similarly, '/cyc/foobar/' is a syntactically legal pathname. However, if '/cyc/foobar/' is not a directory on any unix filesystem, it is not a semantically valid pathname. directory pathname AMAHospitalID The collection of all American Medical Association <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDString" class="cyc_term">IDString</a>s used to identify hospitals. ama hospital id HospitalID The collection of all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDString" class="cyc_term">IDString</a>s used to distinctively identify hospitals. hospital id URI UniformResourceIdentifier A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDString" class="cyc_term">IDString</a>. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UniformResourceIdentifier" class="cyc_term">UniformResourceIdentifier</a> (URI) is a compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. The URI syntax is defined by <a href= "http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt</a> and is a world wide web standard. ProductName product name For example, a car with the Brand VW, the ProductModel Jetta, and the #$ProductVersion GTI. A string appended to the end of names of computer files, contracts, software releases etc in order to indicate which version of the object it is. VersionSuffix version suffix The collection of all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UniformResourceLocator" class="cyc_term">UniformResourceLocator</a> that are urls for image files. ImageUniformResourceLocator image uniform resource locator passport number PassportIdentificationNumber The collection of all passport numbers. A type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDNumber" class="cyc_term">IDNumber</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UniqueID" class="cyc_term">UniqueID</a>. The collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PassportIdentificationNumber" class="cyc_term">PassportIdentificationNumber</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UniqueIDType" class="cyc_term">UniqueIDType</a> and an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDStringType" class="cyc_term">IDStringType</a>. Pathname pathname <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Pathname" class="cyc_term">Pathname</a> is the collection of computer filesystem pathnames. Pathnames are intended to identify directories or files on a given filesystem. For example, '<a href= "file:/cyc/ke/'">file:/cyc/ke/'</a> is a pathname which denotes a directory on the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cycorp" class="cyc_term">Cycorp</a> unix filesystem. '<a href= "file:/cyc/ke/temp.txt'">file:/cyc/ke/temp.txt'</a> is a pathname which denotes a file on the Cycorp unix filesystem. Similarly, '<a href= "file:/cyc/foobar/'">file:/cyc/foobar/'</a> is a syntactically legal pathname. However, because '<a href= "file:/cyc/foobar/'">file:/cyc/foobar/'</a> is not a directory on the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cycorp" class="cyc_term">Cycorp</a> unix filesystem (well, at least it currently (Jan 2000) isn't), it is not a semantically valid pathname. The file: is required at the beginning of the name because the browser currently (Sept 2000) will only hotlink to a URL if http: or file: is prepended. We desire hotlinks for all the uses of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Pathname" class="cyc_term">Pathname</a> in the system currently. If the universality of this desire lessens, perhaps someday we will want 'HotlinkedPathname' and 'NotHotlinkedPathname'. #$salientCycorpPathname and relata should have hotlinked pathnames. nickname Names used for individuals that do not fall into a category of common given names like Betty or Liz. They often are based on some notable characteristic of the referent ('Red' for a red-headed person, 'The Refrigerator' for a very large person). Nickname A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanNameString" class="cyc_term">HumanNameString</a>. Each instance of this collection is a character-string (e.g. `Billy' and `Peter') given to people as a first name (or, in most Western countries, as a middle name), usually shortly after birth. It is thus to be distinguished from (though is not disjoint with) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanFamilyNameString" class="cyc_term">HumanFamilyNameString</a>. This collection also includes nicknames such as "Red" or "The Refrigerator".

PhoneNumber username Username A collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDString" class="cyc_term">IDString</a>s. Each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Username" class="cyc_term">Username</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CharacterString" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> that represents a distinct user of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Computer" class="cyc_term">Computer</a> or the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/agreeingServiceRecipient" class="cyc_term">agreeingServiceRecipient</a> of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ComputerAccount" class="cyc_term">ComputerAccount</a>. HumanNameString A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ProperNameString" class="cyc_term">ProperNameString</a>. Each instance of this collection is a name which is given to human beings. Two important specializations of this collection are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanGivenNameString" class="cyc_term">HumanGivenNameString</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanFamilyNameString" class="cyc_term">HumanFamilyNameString</a>. human name FIPSState-CountyCode A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FIPSState_CountyCode" class="cyc_term">FIPSState_CountyCode</a> is a five digit code provided by NIST in the Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) that combines a two digit state code with a three digit county code to provide a unique code for every county in the US. FIPS state-county code USBGNPlaceNameString USBGN place name string A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ProperNameString" class="cyc_term">ProperNameString</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/USBGNPlaceNameString" class="cyc_term">USBGNPlaceNameString</a> are the name strings of geographical places that have been vetted and approved by the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/USBoardOnGeographicNames" class="cyc_term">USBoardOnGeographicNames</a> for use in official US Government documents. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/USBGNPlaceNameString" class="cyc_term">USBGNPlaceNameString</a> is covered by <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/USBGNPlaceNameStringType" class="cyc_term">USBGNPlaceNameStringType</a>, which facets <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/USBGNPlaceNameString" class="cyc_term">USBGNPlaceNameString</a> according to whether the name string is the full name of the geographical place, with or without diacritic characters, a generic name string, a short form, or a form to be used for rapid lexigraphic sorting. (InstanceNamedFn-Ternary "driver's license" IDStringType "960be482-17af-41d9-849b-903f391f05c6") driver's license URL A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ContactInfoString" class="cyc_term">ContactInfoString</a>. Instances of this collection are commonly called "web addresses". Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UniformResourceLocator" class="cyc_term">UniformResourceLocator</a> (often abbreviated "URL") is a string that can be used to specify an object on the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Internet" class="cyc_term">Internet</a>, such as a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WebPage_CW" class="cyc_term">WebPage_CW</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InternetNewsgroup" class="cyc_term">InternetNewsgroup</a>. The first part of a URL is the name of a particular <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InternetProtocol" class="cyc_term">InternetProtocol</a>, such as http, ftp, news, telnet, or mailto, and is followed by a colon. The part immediately following the first colon is different for each protocol, but generally is a string of characters identifying a file location, a username, and/or a password. Some URLs have a third part, consisting of '?' or '#' followed by a query string or the name of a location within a web page. Examples include <a href= "ftp://ftp.downlodes.com/pub/stuff/file.zip">ftp://ftp.downlodes.com/pub/stuff/file.zip</a>, <a href= "http://www.myorg.org/index.html">http://www.myorg.org/index.html</a>, <a href= "news:alt.hypertext">news:alt.hypertext</a>, <a href= "mailto:santa@northpole.com">mailto:santa@northpole.com</a>.

HumanMaleFirstName male first name A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDStringType" class="cyc_term">IDStringType</a> is a collection of character strings which is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDString" class="cyc_term">IDString</a> (q.v.).

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDStringType" class="cyc_term">IDStringType</a> is a collection of character strings which is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDString" class="cyc_term">IDString</a> (q.v.). A few notable instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IDStringType" class="cyc_term">IDStringType</a> are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ProductName" class="cyc_term">ProductName</a>, #$ProductVersion, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EMailAddress" class="cyc_term">EMailAddress</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PhoneNumber" class="cyc_term">PhoneNumber</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PostalCode" class="cyc_term">PostalCode</a>. IDStringType type of ID string SecondOrderCollection second-order Cyc collection The collection of all specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FirstOrderCollection" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a>, that is, of all collections of (first-order) collections, and an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ThirdOrderCollection" class="cyc_term">ThirdOrderCollection</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SecondOrderCollection" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> are collections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FirstOrderCollection" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a>s. Any instance of any instance of any instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SecondOrderCollection" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> is an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Individual" class="cyc_term">Individual</a>. type of object The collection of all collections that are "object-like" in at least one respect. A collection <code>COL</code> is object-like just in case there is some sense of 'part' according to which any (or nearly any) given proper part of an instance of <code>COL</code> is not itself an instance of <code>COL</code>; when this happens <code>COL</code> is said to be object-like with respect to that sense of 'part'. More precisely, for a collection <code>COL</code> to be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> it is sufficient that there be some specialization <code>PARTPRED</code> of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/properParts" class="cyc_term">properParts</a> such that, for any <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code>, if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ1 COL)</code> and <code>(PARTPRED OBJ1 OBJ2)</code> both hold, then <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code> does not hold. (Also sufficient for <code>COL</code>'s being an object-type is that there be some specialization <code>INVPARTPRED</code> of the inverse of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/properParts" class="cyc_term">properParts</a> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/genlInverse" class="cyc_term">genlInverse</a>) such that <code>(INVPARTPRED OBJ2 OBJ1)</code>, with everything else remaining the same as above.) Note that neither of the above sufficient conditions for <code>COL</code>'s being an object-type is strictly necessary: some exceptions are allowed. Thus as long as either one of the above conditionals holds in nearly all cases, <code>COL</code> should be considered an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>. Here are two examples. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Automobile" class="cyc_term">Automobile</a>. Take an instance of that, say my car. Now consider one of the proper <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/physicalParts" class="cyc_term">physicalParts</a> of my car, say the steering wheel. The steering wheel is not an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Automobile" class="cyc_term">Automobile</a>. And the same would be true for any proper physical part of any car. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Automobile" class="cyc_term">Automobile</a> is an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a>. No proper <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> of a year is itself a year. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> is an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>.
