MapCopy A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv_W6CJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StillImageSource</a>. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvdOOfpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MapCopy</a> is an object (often physical -- see (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwDGhY5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HardcopyOfIBTTypeFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvdOOfpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MapCopy</a>)) depicting in two dimensions and instantiating a conceptual <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjntJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Map</a>. A map often consists of printed sheets or similar displays on screens. Map copies often contain <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkEx5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TextualMaterial</a>, but sometimes contain only images.

Instances are still-image sources (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r_8EsfGEIEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">imageSource</a>), such as charts and graphs, that serve to display data in a chart format -- i.e., one that distinguishes comparable data through different-sized shapes and different colors. A subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ryB9y9GEPEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">Graphic_VisualIBT</a>. Instances are still-image sources (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r_8EsfGEIEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">imageSource</a>), such as charts and graphs, that serve to display data in a way that makes it easy for the target audience to digest. Infographic information graphic 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 A subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a>. Instances of this collection are approximately 2-dimensional spatial objects that are the sources (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r_8EsfGEIEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">imageSource</a>) of still images (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP1_opwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StillImage</a>). This collection includes many specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwFG3m5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TwoDimensionalArtObject</a>, such as paintings (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjHfpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Painting_ArtForm</a>), as well as spatial regions where a still visual image is displayed (such as the area on a wall where an image might be projected). Counter-examples include high-relief objects (sculptures), motion pictures, and text, though many graphics can include bits of text (and vice versa). graphic Graphic-VisualIBT Wikipedia Article URL (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rNv0nbm4TTjOp7yhmnzOyqg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleURL</a> THING URL) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article located at URL wikipediaArticleURL A subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ryB9y9GEPEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">Graphic_VisualIBT</a>.

Infographic information graphic A collection of collections; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rejmDbrF_QdeIENT1qpbYzQ" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByGenericCategory</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a> are mutually unique with respect to the full set of the primary intended uses of their instances. Examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkKypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DessertFood</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sofa_PieceOfFurniture</a>. Counter-examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwKTkJpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FountainPen</a> (which has the same primary function as its genls, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViISpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WritingPen</a>) and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjQHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FurniturePiece</a> (specs of which have different primary uses). There may be cases where two instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a> (PROD1 and PROD2) are related by (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genls</a> PROD1 PROD2); but this will only happen in cases where instances of PROD1 have some additional primary function(s) to those of PROD2. For example, the collections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sofa_PieceOfFurniture</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjGZZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SofaBed</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a>, and (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genls</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjGZZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SofaBed</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sofa_PieceOfFurniture</a>) is true. ArtifactTypeByFunction artifact type by function A subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ryB9y9GEPEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">Graphic_VisualIBT</a>. Instances are still-image sources (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r_8EsfGEIEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">imageSource</a>), such as charts and graphs, that serve to display data in a way that makes it easy for the target audience to digest. Infographic information graphic A collection of things created by <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAB5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a>s. These creations may be either tangible (like a hammer, a bowl, or a bridge) or intangible (like a set of laws, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjSEZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">KnowledgeBase</a>, or Beethoven's Ninth Symphony). Thus, the collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvjSBSZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact_Generic</a>s is partitioned into <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkH_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvtisp5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact_Intangible</a> (q.v.). Artifact-Generic generic artifact SpatiallyDisjointObjectType type of object whose instances do not physically overlap A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is a collection C of spatial things (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a>), where each of the spatial things in C is spatially disjoint with the other spatial things in C. <p/> For example, the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjaoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dog</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a>, since dogs do not spatially overlap. Even pregnant dogs do not spatially overlap the pups they bear; rather, pregnant dogs contain their unborn pups. Other instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwVGrQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LatitudeLine</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvW4n1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CompactDisc_Audio</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwR7UWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetaryBody</a>.
