These terms are not guaranteed to refer to the same concept across time but are guaranteed to be consistent within a particular OWL export. Use 'cycAnnot:externalID' for unambiguously referring to a concept across OWL exports or across Cyc inference engines.

This predicate is roughly equivalent to rdfs:seeAlso. 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. A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PhysicalQuantity" class="cyc_term">PhysicalQuantity</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Distance" class="cyc_term">Distance</a> is the length of a path in space extending from one point to another. In some contexts, for example in the argument 2 position of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/altitudeAboveSeaLevel" class="cyc_term">altitudeAboveSeaLevel</a>, an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Distance" class="cyc_term">Distance</a> will include directional information. In these contexts, instances can take on positive or negative values. In other contexts, directional information will not matter, and instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Distance" class="cyc_term">Distance</a> will only take on non-negative values. See the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Distance_Absolute" class="cyc_term">Distance_Absolute</a> for measures of distance that necessarily do not include directional information, and thus are always non-negative. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Distance" class="cyc_term">Distance</a> may be either a fixed interval, such as the height of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WashingtonMonumentInWashingtonDC" class="cyc_term">WashingtonMonumentInWashingtonDC</a> or the altitude of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/DeadSea" class="cyc_term">DeadSea</a>, or a range, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WithinAudibleDistance" class="cyc_term">WithinAudibleDistance</a> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ScalarInterval" class="cyc_term">ScalarInterval</a> for more explanation). See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/UnitOfDistance" class="cyc_term">UnitOfDistance</a> for the units used by Cyc to measure distances.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/NonNumericScalarQuantity" class="cyc_term">NonNumericScalarQuantity</a> is a properly interval-like quantity that is not given in terms of a numerically-specified measurement (cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MeasurableQuantity" class="cyc_term">MeasurableQuantity</a>). Typically, a non-numeric quantity is specified in a way that compares it to certain other non-numeric quantities of the same general type. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/BreadboxSized" class="cyc_term">BreadboxSized</a> is a non-numeric <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Volume" class="cyc_term">Volume</a> that is less than (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/followingValue" class="cyc_term">followingValue</a>) the volume <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HumanSized" class="cyc_term">HumanSized</a>. <p/> Note that no <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MathematicalFunctionOnScalars" class="cyc_term">MathematicalFunctionOnScalars</a> (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PlusFn" class="cyc_term">PlusFn</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ScalarExponentFn" class="cyc_term">ScalarExponentFn</a>) is defined (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/undefined" class="cyc_term">undefined</a>) on any non-numeric scalar quantity. <p/> An important specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/NonNumericScalarQuantity" class="cyc_term">NonNumericScalarQuantity</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/GenericQuantity" class="cyc_term">GenericQuantity</a>. <p/> For predicates that relate things to non-numeric quantities that characterize them, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/NonNumericQuantitySlot" class="cyc_term">NonNumericQuantitySlot</a>. non numeric scalar quantity NonNumericScalarQuantity Thin Thin thinness
