Mx4rv_IqlZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA Polynesia Polynesia-Region Polynesia, one of the three main ethnological divisions of Oceania, along with Melanesia and Micronesia. Polynesia is located in the central and S Pacific Ocean, and consists of large volcanic islands such as the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HawaiianIslands" class="cyc_term">HawaiianIslands</a> and smaller coral islands. most polynesian polynesian more polynesian http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-Polynesia-noun-1 A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeographicalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a> is a region united by economic, cultural, political, or religious ties. The exact boundaries for such regions are sometimes difficult to determine, and sometimes it is unclear whether a region ought to count as one. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a> include the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CaribbeanRegion" class="cyc_term">CaribbeanRegion</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Scandinavia" class="cyc_term">Scandinavia</a>. Non-examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/NorthernHemisphere_Region" class="cyc_term">NorthernHemisphere_Region</a>, where there is only a geographical commonality shared by the areas subsumed by the region, and the area of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Nicaragua" class="cyc_term">Nicaragua</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CostaRica" class="cyc_term">CostaRica</a> combined, which does not by itself form a natural grouping, but is subsumed by the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CentralAmerica" class="cyc_term">CentralAmerica</a>. Another non-example of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a> would be 'Spanish-speaking countries,' which are too geographically scattered to form a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a>. Note that one country may be subsumed by more than one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GeoculturalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeoculturalRegion</a> : for example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Norway" class="cyc_term">Norway</a> is in both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WesternEurope" class="cyc_term">WesternEurope</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Scandinavia" class="cyc_term">Scandinavia</a>. cultural region GeoculturalRegion 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. (GroupFn Island) group of islands 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. Polynesia Polynesia-Region Polynesia, one of the three main ethnological divisions of Oceania, along with Melanesia and Micronesia. Polynesia is located in the central and S Pacific Ocean, and consists of large volcanic islands such as the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HawaiianIslands" class="cyc_term">HawaiianIslands</a> and smaller coral islands. The division of the globe comprising most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean. The subdivisions of Oceania are Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, which are grouped together in accordance with the physical and cultural characteristics of the inhabitants. Oceania also includes <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Australia" class="cyc_term">Australia</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/NewZealand" class="cyc_term">NewZealand</a>. Some of the islands included are American Samoa, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Guam" class="cyc_term">Guam</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PapuaNewGuinea" class="cyc_term">PapuaNewGuinea</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/SolomonIslands_TheNation" class="cyc_term">SolomonIslands_TheNation</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/IslandOfTahiti_FrenchPolynesia" class="cyc_term">IslandOfTahiti_FrenchPolynesia</a>.

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 IslandRegion A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/LandTopographicalFeature" class="cyc_term">LandTopographicalFeature</a>.

Note that the instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/IslandRegion" class="cyc_term">IslandRegion</a> include certain groups of scattered islands that do not form a natural geographical area, but which are geopolitical areas and/or were historically significant.
