Financial services

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_services http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-finance-noun-1 industry Industry-Localized Each element of the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a> is a particular <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjmoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Group</a> of producers of a particular kind of good or service (usually in a defined geographic area). For instance, the United States' automobile industry would be an element of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a>, and would have U.S. automobile manufacturers like <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViJbpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneralMotors</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViJsJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Daimler_ChryslerTheCompany</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi3SJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FordTheCompany</a> etc. as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj-BJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">groupMembers</a>. For major economic sectors consisting of many industries, use <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0ycjJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EconomicSector_Localized</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxv_N5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EconomicSectorType</a>, which refer to larger groups. Thus, 'the world agriculture sector', or 'the technology sector in the United States' refer to instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0ycjJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EconomicSector_Localized</a> rather than instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a>. 'The U.S. Automobile Industry' should be considered a sub-industry (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwA2dOZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">subIndustries</a>) of 'The U.S. Industrial Sector'. Note that specific kinds of industry (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxQhVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryType</a>s like <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSZxGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MetallurgyIndustry</a>) are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Collection</a>s of particular (often geographically defined) industries; they are not individual industries (instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a>) in this scheme. That is, there are several instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSZxGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MetallurgyIndustry</a>, such as the German metallurgy industry, the Mexican metallurgy industry, etc. There is also the worldwide metallurgy industry. These may be described as (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvksEoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryOfRegionFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSZxGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MetallurgyIndustry</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj4PJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Germany</a>), etc. Thus the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwSZxGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MetallurgyIndustry</a> is a specialization, not an instance, of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a>. See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv7jNFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MtOfIndustryTypeFn</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwRH29JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MtOfIndustryOfRegionFn</a> which create microtheories for the types and the individuals, respectively. 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 <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ret7qgOKgEdmAAAACs6hfSg" class="cyc_term">ConceptTypeByDomain</a> (q.v.). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpzEQGP7AEdmAAAACs0uFOQ" class="cyc_term">IndustrialConcept</a> are collections and relations having to do with types of industries and industrial facilities. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxQhVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryType</a>, specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4riJxVSvrJEdmAAAACs6hO_g" class="cyc_term">ManufacturingFacility</a>, and relations used for describing the products, resources, parts, size, functions, and personnel of various types of industries are instances of this collection. industry or industrial facility concept IndustrialConcept 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 seeAlsoURI <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4riWVFR6HJSpaEaHrcWS3MSA" 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. See Also URI CAE analysis topic CAEAnalysisTopic The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rgQsP1F2xEdif1wACs2IMlQ" class="cyc_term">Topic</a>s that have special support for fact entry in the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rsUtZ3AhcEdqAAAACs4vPlg" class="cyc_term">CycAnalyticEnvironment_TheProgram</a>. A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWXYgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> (q.v.). Moreover, each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWXYgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a collection that is temporally stuff-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>) but physically-spatially object-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>) -- i.e. object-like with respect to some physical-spatial part-whole predicate (e.g. some specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r8a2smPXcQdiEoJhcx65EiQ" class="cyc_term">properPhysicalDecompositions</a>). Consider the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a>. Further, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is temporally stuff-like: any one of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> of a given copy <code>COPY</code> of (say) "Moby Dick" is still a copy of "Moby Dick". (Most collections of tangible objects are temporally stuff-like in this way.) But <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is spatially object-like: if we take a scalpel and slice <code>COPY</code> into ten pieces, each piece is not a copy of "Moby Dick". So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWXYgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a>. See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVir35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVny6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a>. ExistingObjectType type of object financial industry FinancialIndustry The collection of all financial industries. A type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a>. The collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv2fV75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FinancialIndustry</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rywwkWqpAEduAAAACs6hRYQ" class="cyc_term">CAEAnalysisTopic</a>, an #$IndustrialCollection, and an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxQhVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryType</a>. quotedIsa A binary <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rDeDIGEW0EdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">MetaLanguagePredicate</a> (q.v.) that relates CycL expressions to the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4raOoTci9qEdma4AACs1uxFw" class="cyc_term">SubLExpressionType</a>s (q.v.) of which they are instances. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> is thus like a restricted version of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> (q.v.), but with one important difference: the first argument-place of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> is "implicitly quoted" (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwHb_bZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">quotedArgument</a>). So a ground atomic sentence of the form <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> THING EXPR-TYPE)</code> does not mean that <code>THING</code> itself is an instance of <code>EXPR-TYPE</code>. Rather, such a sentence is partly self-referential, and means that the particular CycL expression appearing in the sentence's own first argument-position is an instance of <code>EXPR-TYPE</code>. Thus, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> provides a convenient shorthand for stating certain things that would otherwise require explicit quotation (or some other device for naming expressions). This is better illustrated with a specific example. Suppose we wish to state that the CycL constant <code><a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndianOcean</a></code> is an instance of the CycL expression type #$PublicConstant. We cannot express this with the straightforward <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> sentence <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndianOcean</a> #$PublicConstant)</code>, as that states the falsehood that the IndianOcean itself -- which is not a constant but a body of water -- is a public constant. But we can express precisely what we want like this: <pre> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndianOcean</a> #$PublicConstant) . </pre> Now <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv4oJWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MacroRelation</a> (q.v.), and by its <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjg7JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">expansion</a> any given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> sentence is equivalent to some <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> sentence with an explicitly quoted first argument. The sentence displayed above turns out to be equivalent to: <pre> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rgGBbEkNuEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">Quote</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndianOcean</a>) #$PublicConstant). </pre> But the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> version has two related practical advantages over the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> version. First, the former is syntactically simpler than the latter. Second, the simpler syntax of the former makes it easier to browse in the Knowedge Base: while the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> version is conveniently indexed under the KB Browser page for the constant <code><a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndianOcean</a></code>, the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> version would apparently be indexed under a separate, brand new page for the term <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rgGBbEkNuEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">Quote</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndianOcean</a>)</code>. Generalizing the point, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a> lets us avoid having potentially to double the number of pages currently in the browser. For the semantically more complicated (but rarely encountered) case in which <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rBVVEokNxEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">quotedIsa</a>'s first argument-place is filled with an open expression, see the accompanying #$cyclistNotes. Quoted Isa A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxQhVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryType</a> is a general industry, by function, which is the collection of all local or geographically-defined industries (instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a>) that perform that function. So the funeral industry in general is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxQhVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryType</a>, whereas the Ohio funeral industry is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a> (as is the worldwide funeral industry whose 'locale' is just large). Every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvxQhVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IndustryType</a> can have local examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjiyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Industry_Localized</a> as its instances.
