Each instance of this collection is a state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties. It usually ends only with one of the parties <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvV4LYJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Surrendering</a>. military engagement Engagement-Military A limited tactical conflict, usually between opposing maneuver force,such as might occur between opposing units in a course of action.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rOkvbXsCMQdiev7A97yUudg" class="cyc_term">PoliceAction</a> is a relatively localized military action that is undertaken without formal declaration of war by the regular armed forces of a country against violators of international peace or order. Renewed Israeli Hizballah Conflict 1997 RenewedIsraeliHizballahConflict-1997 military conflict MilitaryConflictEvent A collection of all events in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViPO5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SocialOccurrence</a> that can be called 'conflicts'. For each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvyEmy5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConflictEvent</a> CONF, there are at least two <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVinb5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgent</a>s AGT1 and AGT2 such that (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvpf1a5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">opponentsInConflict</a> AGT1 AGT2 CONF) holds. For each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvyEmy5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConflictEvent</a> CONF, there are subevents ACT1 and ACT2 of CONF, which are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVieP5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PurposefulAction</a>s, and there are GOAL1 and GOAL2 such that (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjSTpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">purposeInEvent</a> AGT1 ACT1 GOAL1), (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjSTpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">purposeInEvent</a> AGT2 ACT2 GOAL2), and GOAL1 and GOAL2 are in conflict, i.e., (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA-ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">and</a> GOAL1 GOAL2) is not consistent (in the current <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA1ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Microtheory</a>). ConflictEvent conflict military conflict MilitaryConflictEvent 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. Event An important specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvYjIS5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Situation</a> and thus also of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjj45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntangibleIndividual</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtM0npht0QdiUF94Dipp7Pg" class="cyc_term">TemporallyExistingThing</a> (qq.v). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViADZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event</a> is a dynamic situation in which the state of the world changes; each instance is something one would say &quot;happens&quot;. Events are intangible because they are changes <i>per se</i>, not tangible objects that effect and undergo changes. <p/> Notable specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViADZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvjJE4ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event_Localized</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpjZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalEvent</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVioQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Action</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViOtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeneralizedTransfer</a>. <p/> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViADZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event</a>s should not be confused with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViAw5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeInterval</a>s (q.v.). The temporal bounds of events are delineated by time intervals, but in contrast to many events time intervals have no spatial location or extent. event first-order collection FirstOrderCollection An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvtppU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CollectionType</a>, and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rNooX_CChEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FixedOrderCollection</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rHIBS0h_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a> is the collection of all specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjaApwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Individual</a> (q.v.)

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpjZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalEvent</a> is a spatially localized event involving one or more physical objects or stuffs. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpjZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalEvent</a>s typically involve interaction among <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a>s. But note that a physical event might consist in the creation, destruction, movement, or a change in some physical feature of a single salient physical object. (See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvpKVWpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalCreationEvent</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv4jqZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalDestructionEvent</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkEAZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MovementEvent</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWESd5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntrinsicStateChangeEvent</a>.) For a contrasting (though not necessarily disjoint) collection, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvkjZ1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">StrictlyMentalEvent</a>. For events that have both physical and mental components, see the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViNJ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent</a>. 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 MilitaryEvent The collection of all military events, including <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfq5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">War</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViusJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Battle</a>s, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgD3bpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Explosion</a>s, and military <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvV9B6ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Training</a>. Note that these events need not be organized or planned, just connected to the military in some way. military event
