The first <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwAYN2JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Salyut</a>, Salyut I, was the first <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvb36jJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceStation</a> constructed by humanity. The <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjPzpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UnionOfSovietSocialistRepublics</a> launched seven of such craft, the first on 19 April 1971, and the last in 1982. salyut The first <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvb36jJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceStation</a> launched by the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVikKpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UnitedStatesOfAmerica</a>. It was launched 14 May 1973. Skylab Skylab InternationalSpaceStation The International Space Station is a cooperative effort involving a number of countries including the U.S., Russia, and various European countries. the International Space Station A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvb36jJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceStation</a> launched by the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjPzpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UnionOfSovietSocialistRepublics</a>. It was launched 20 February 1986. Mir Mir manned spacecraft MannedSpacecraft The collection of all manned <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQtlDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Spacecraft</a>. 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 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. 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>. An important specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjlE5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointRegionType</a> (a collection of specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjnZ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">City</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwT-n15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TrueContinent</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 SpaceStation The collection of spacecraft intended to remain in orbit for a relatively long period of time, with personnel being transported between <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkL_pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetEarth</a> and the space station via a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViUfJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceShuttle</a> or similar vehicle. space station SpaceStation The collection of spacecraft intended to remain in orbit for a relatively long period of time, with personnel being transported between <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkL_pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetEarth</a> and the space station via a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViUfJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceShuttle</a> or similar vehicle. space station A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv1ZxY5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EmptySetOrCollection</a> (q.v.). A collection is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rDKZQEKVnQdmACrINeAfsGw" class="cyc_term">EmptyCollection</a> if and only if it has no instances. Some collections are by their very nature necessarily empty; e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv7LKYpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nothing</a> (q.v.). Conversely, some collections are empty in some contexts and non-empty in others; e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvhn_I5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Unicorn</a> might be empty in the context of the actual world but non-empty in certain mythological contexts. Similarly, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwIE23ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeDependentCollection</a> might be empty at certain times and non-empty at certain other times; e.g. the collection of female US presidents is currently empty but will hopefully become non-empty some time in the near future. This last example demonstrates that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rDKZQEKVnQdmACrINeAfsGw" class="cyc_term">EmptyCollection</a> is itself a time-dependent collection. Note that each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rDKZQEKVnQdmACrINeAfsGw" class="cyc_term">EmptyCollection</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViA45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">disjointWith</a> (q.v.) every collection -- including itself. Cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r_3mf2qedQdmNjeDW39lDKA" class="cyc_term">NonEmptyCollection</a>. empty collection EmptyCollection 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>.
