BT <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". For example, <code>TERM2</code> is, in the relevant sense, broader than <code>TERM1</code> if any of the following hold: <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that subsumes <code>TERM1</code>; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that has <code>TERM1</code> as an instance; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection, instances of which have instances of the collection <code>TERM1</code> as parts; <code>TERM2</code> has <code>TERM1</code> as a part; This list of reasons for why <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> could hold is not exhaustive, but it should give a good indication of how general the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is. broaderTerm geographical region declared GeographicalRegion-Declared The collection of all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeographicalPlace" class="cyc_term">GeographicalPlace</a> whose physical extent is determined by the boundary declarations of some intelligent agent.
