Every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv9YQyZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaOrganization</a> exists for the purpose of disseminating information to the public (cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvXf6cJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaTransferEvent</a>). Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv9YQyZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaOrganization</a> include radio stations, cable-TV providers, and publishing companies. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv9YQyZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaOrganization</a> may also create the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvXg6i5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaProduct</a>s it distributes. However, an organization that merely creates <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvXg6i5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaProduct</a>s, but does not distribute them, is not a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv9YQyZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaOrganization</a>. media organization 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 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>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjxuZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CommercialServiceOrganization</a> is a commercial organization which sells some service(s), rather than tangible goods, as its main product. Some tangible goods may accompany or supplement the main service sold, but only as side products; for example, some instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj-xJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HairSalon</a> sell hair care products.
