In a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MeetingSomeone" class="cyc_term">MeetingSomeone</a> event, one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a> is moving and meets (comes into close proximity with) another <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>. This may or may not be purposeful. It may be done by non-human animals, and occasionally by other sorts of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>s. Note: this does not mean "being introduced to someone", but rather "going to meet with someone". MeetingSomeone Mx4rwPKarZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA had joined will have seen seeing sees join see saw have joined meeting someone has joined will see had seen will have joined meeting events joining seen has seen joins joined will join have seen http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-meet-verb-1 Linkup-MilitaryTask A linkup is a meeting of friendly ground forces and occurs in a variety of circumstances. It happens when an advancing force reaches an objective area previously seized by an airborne or air assault when an encircled element breaks out to rejoin friendly forces or a force comes to the relief of an encircled force maneuver forces meet. Both forces may be moving toward each other or one may be stationary. Whenever possible, joining forces exchange as much information as possible prior to the start of an operation. military linkup SayingGoodbyeToSomeone farewell meeting someone for the first time MeetingSomeoneForTheFirstTime seeAlsoURI See Also URI <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/seeAlsoURI" class="cyc_term">seeAlsoURI</a> THING URI)</code> means that a description of the resource identified by URI is likely to contain information pertinent to THING. This predicate is roughly equivalent to rdfs:seeAlso. EncounteringSomething This is the collection of events in which an agent encounters an object or another agent. To encounter something is to become close enough to it to become aware of it. One may encounter a bear by the bear approaching, so encountering does not require movement on the part of the encounterer (though the bear would also be an encounterer). If both objects encountering each other are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>s, the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/doneBy" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> slot would normally be filled by the moving agent, if only one moves. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MeetingSomeone" class="cyc_term">MeetingSomeone</a>. encountering meeting event A collection of actions. In a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MeetingSomeone" class="cyc_term">MeetingSomeone</a> event, one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a> is moving and meets (comes into close proximity with) another <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>. This may or may not be purposeful. It may be done by non-human animals, and occasionally by other sorts of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>s. Note: this does not mean "being introduced to someone", but rather "going to meet with someone". MeetingSomeone prettyString Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/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/2009/04/07/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. meeting event A collection of actions. In a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MeetingSomeone" class="cyc_term">MeetingSomeone</a> event, one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a> is moving and meets (comes into close proximity with) another <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>. This may or may not be purposeful. It may be done by non-human animals, and occasionally by other sorts of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>s. Note: this does not mean "being introduced to someone", but rather "going to meet with someone". MeetingSomeone TemporalStuffType A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/StuffType" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally stuff-like. A collection <code>COL</code> is temporally stuff-like just in case every purely temporal part (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a>) of an instance of <code>COL</code> is itself an instance of <code>COL</code>, unless it is a temporal part of a temporal granule of <code>COL</code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/granuleOfTemporalStuff" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a>). More precisely, for a collection <code>COL</code> to be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> it is both a necessary and sufficient condition that for any <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code> (with <code>OBJ2</code> at or above <code>COL</code>'s temporal granularity level), if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ1 COL)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> OBJ1 OBJ2)</code>, then <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code>. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. Take an arbitrary instance <code>WALK</code> of this collection (say Miss America 2000's victory walk down the runway and back); and then take an arbitrary time-slice <code>SUBWALK</code> of <code>WALK</code> that subsumes at least one instance of (the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/granuleOfTemporalStuff" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a> for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> (say her trip back from the end of the runway). <code>SUBWALK</code> is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally object-like. type of temporally stuff-like thing some sample kinds of social actions social topic SomeSampleKindsOfSocialActions-Social-Topic SocialOccurrence A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PurposefulAction" class="cyc_term">PurposefulAction</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/SocialOccurrence" class="cyc_term">SocialOccurrence</a> is an action in which two or more agents take part. In many cases, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/SocialOccurrence" class="cyc_term">SocialOccurrence</a>s involve communication among the participating agents. Some instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/SocialOccurrence" class="cyc_term">SocialOccurrence</a> have very elaborate role structures (e.g. a typical lawsuit), while others have fairly simple role structures (e.g. greeting a colleague at work). social event meeting event A collection of actions. In a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MeetingSomeone" class="cyc_term">MeetingSomeone</a> event, one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a> is moving and meets (comes into close proximity with) another <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>. This may or may not be purposeful. It may be done by non-human animals, and occasionally by other sorts of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>s. Note: this does not mean "being introduced to someone", but rather "going to meet with someone". MeetingSomeone
