Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpIksuC8_EdyAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">RocketLaunchFacility</a> is a structure built for the purpose of launching rockets (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpCr8mC80EdyAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">LaunchingARocket</a>). geographical region A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLjlAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalThing</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkDZZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SurfaceRegion_Tangible</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a> is a tangible spatial region that includes some piece of the surface of a planet (usually <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkL_pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetEarth</a>), and may be represented on a map of the planet. This includes purely topographical regions like mountains and underwater spaces, places defined by demographics (e.g. language areas) and territory otherwise demarcated (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPvi0JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeZone</a>s). In "dualist" geopolitical contexts (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvnCA15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DualistGeopoliticalMt</a>, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjl2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntity</a> are also considered to be instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>. In all cases the region in question must contain some tangible component with which it is possible to make physical contact. The instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a> contrast in this respect with the instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvc-YsJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalThing_Intangible</a>, which are wholly intangible. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjOO5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RockyMountainStates_USRegion</a>, the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv9tl95wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ContinentOfAustralia</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViO4pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SinaiPeninsula</a>, and -- in "dualist" geopolitical contexts -- <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViC4ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">YaleUniversity</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBlpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CityOfPittsburghPA</a>. Some important types of regions are represented by the sub-collections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj3CJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LanguageArea</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPvi0JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeZone</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWdbEZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PostalCodeRegion</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjKJ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EcologicalRegion</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwP2CrJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConstructionSite</a>, and -- in "dualist" geopolitical contexts -- <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjl2pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntity</a>. No instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a> are wholly indoor locations.

BT broaderTerm <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". For example, <code>TERM2</code> is, in the relevant sense, broader than <code>TERM1</code> if any of the following hold: <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that subsumes <code>TERM1</code>; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that has <code>TERM1</code> as an instance; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection, instances of which have instances of the collection <code>TERM1</code> as parts; <code>TERM2</code> has <code>TERM1</code> as a part; This list of reasons for why <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> could hold is not exhaustive, but it should give a good indication of how general the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv51bpZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Facility_Construct</a> is used primarily for one purpose and will usually be a building (such as a particular <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPvH35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Laboratory</a>) or building(s) *and* the surrounding property (e.g., a particular <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0VpypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryFacility</a>). As such, this collection is a proper subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVidpZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConstructionArtifact</a>, as it excludes things like railroad tracks, and is a distinct collection from <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjGR5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FixedStructure</a>, which includes non-<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv51bpZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Facility_Construct</a>s like the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQruH5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EiffelTower</a>, but excludes most (perhaps all) instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rv0VpypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MilitaryFacility</a>). installation Facility-Construct wikipediaArticleName (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rTv-jk9SPTXa991kk5mAvHg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleName</a> THING NAME) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article with the title NAME Wikipedia Article Name
