UNESCO World Heritage Site UNESCOWorldHertitageSite A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLjlAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalThing</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgLGxpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HistoricTemporalThing</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rJjq3wrZiEd2AAAAhm0vLxw" class="cyc_term">UNESCOWorldHertitageSite</a> is a place that is on the list maintained by the international World Heritage Programme administered by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. World Heritage Sites World Heritage Site UNESCO World Heritage Sites A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ro3lluGJHQdiVxrZReHS-jQ" class="cyc_term">EnduringThing_Localized</a>. This collection may be thought of as consisting of all the entities which are localizable within the context of a geography, in the sense that they might plausibly be represented on a map. This includes both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> entities like <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>s, and also entities that may be wholly <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjjo5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Intangible</a>, like territorial borders and boundaries, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwVGrQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LatitudeLine</a>s and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvdq0oZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LongitudeLine</a>s, trajectories of missiles and courses of ships, and the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPzQjJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EarthsEquator</a>. GeographicalThing geographical thing DB pedia OWL class DBPediaOWLClass A collection of collections. Each instance of this collection is a collection that corresponds to one of the classes in the DBPedia ontology. Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" 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/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" 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. prettyString Place A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ro3lluGJHQdiVxrZReHS-jQ" class="cyc_term">EnduringThing_Localized</a> (q.v). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjTtJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Place</a> is a spatial thing which has a relatively permanent location. Thus, in a given microtheory, each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjTtJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Place</a> is stationary with respect to the frame of reference of that microtheory. place UNESCO World Heritage Site UNESCOWorldHertitageSite A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLjlAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalThing</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgLGxpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HistoricTemporalThing</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rJjq3wrZiEd2AAAAhm0vLxw" class="cyc_term">UNESCOWorldHertitageSite</a> is a place that is on the list maintained by the international World Heritage Programme administered by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. UNESCO World Heritage Site UNESCOWorldHertitageSite A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLjlAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalThing</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgLGxpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HistoricTemporalThing</a>.

This is the collection of all collections of which something can be an instance during (and only during) several non-overlapping periods. <p/> For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjma5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FamousHuman</a> is an intermittant collection, as a person might be famous as a child, fade into obscurity as a young adult, and then become famous again as an older adult. CulturalThing cultural thing The collection of all temporal things, including both activities and objects, that are either created or adopted by any culture that has them, and thus can distinguish one culture or set of cultures from another.
