IceCreamShop The collection of local establishments that sell exclusively ice cream, usually in small quantities that can be eaten on or near the premises. ice cream shop Mx4rvVj9eJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA ice cream shops A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingObjectType" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> (q.v.). Moreover, each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingObjectType" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a collection that is temporally stuff-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>) but physically-spatially object-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>) -- i.e. object-like with respect to some physical-spatial part-whole predicate (e.g. some specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/properPhysicalDecompositions" class="cyc_term">properPhysicalDecompositions</a>). Consider the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a>. Further, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is temporally stuff-like: any one of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> of a given copy <code>COPY</code> of (say) "Moby Dick" is still a copy of "Moby Dick". (Most collections of tangible objects are temporally stuff-like in this way.) But <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is spatially object-like: if we take a scalpel and slice <code>COPY</code> into ten pieces, each piece is not a copy of "Moby Dick". So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingObjectType" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RetailStore" class="cyc_term">RetailStore</a> is a local single-site organization (but not necessarily a stand-alone business, since it might be part of a chain of retail stores) which sells goods directly to consumers at the organization's <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/physicalQuarters" class="cyc_term">physicalQuarters</a>. Note that the parent company in a chain of retail stores (such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KMart_TheCompany" class="cyc_term">KMart_TheCompany</a>) is _not_, in general, an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RetailStore" class="cyc_term">RetailStore</a>, but a local store in a chain generally is (for example, all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KMartStore" class="cyc_term">KMartStore</a> are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RetailStore" class="cyc_term">RetailStore</a>). retail store RetailStore local customer contact point SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients" class="cyc_term">SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients</a> is a specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SingleSiteOrganization" class="cyc_term">SingleSiteOrganization</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/LocalOrganization" class="cyc_term">LocalOrganization</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients" class="cyc_term">SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients</a> is a single-site organization serving customers in a local area, working from a particular store, office, or other physical quarters where customers (or their agents) go in person to speak with company representatives about the services or products offered. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients" class="cyc_term">SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients</a> may be either stand-alone organizations or sub-organization of a larger company. Notable specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients" class="cyc_term">SingleSiteLocalOrganizationWithClients</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Pharmacy" class="cyc_term">Pharmacy</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AutoDealership" class="cyc_term">AutoDealership</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Hospital" class="cyc_term">Hospital</a>.

Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PrivateSectorOrganization" class="cyc_term">PrivateSectorOrganization</a>s may be either <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommercialOrganization" class="cyc_term">CommercialOrganization</a>s or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/NonProfitOrganization" class="cyc_term">NonProfitOrganization</a>s. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PrivateSectorOrganization" class="cyc_term">PrivateSectorOrganization</a>s include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IBMInc" class="cyc_term">IBMInc</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cycorp" class="cyc_term">Cycorp</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FloridaNationalBank" class="cyc_term">FloridaNationalBank</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SierraClub" class="cyc_term">SierraClub</a>.

Important subcollections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FoodServiceOrganization" class="cyc_term">FoodServiceOrganization</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Restaurant_Organization" class="cyc_term">Restaurant_Organization</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CateringOrganization" class="cyc_term">CateringOrganization</a>. Note that grocery stores -- and airlines -- are not themselves considered elements of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FoodServiceOrganization" class="cyc_term">FoodServiceOrganization</a>, even though some of those may have <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/subOrganizations" class="cyc_term">subOrganizations</a> or sub-contractors which are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FoodServiceOrganization" class="cyc_term">FoodServiceOrganization</a>s. Bars or taverns, in contrast to <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Restaurant_Organization" class="cyc_term">Restaurant_Organization</a>s that also prepare and serve food, are also not considered <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FoodServiceOrganization" class="cyc_term">FoodServiceOrganization</a>s. food service company FoodServiceOrganization prettyString (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" 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/en/prettyString" 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.
