Class: Commitment

name: Commitment
description: A promise made by a single party to one or more parties to do or not
  do something or act in a particular way.
notes:
- 'OWL equivalentClass: (gist:Intention & (gist:Requirement | gist:Restriction) &
  ∃hasGiver.(gist:Organization | gist:Person) & ∃isCategorizedBy.gist:DegreeOfCommitment)'
comments:
- A commitment is unilateral in that it is binding on only one party. This contrasts
  with gist:Agreement, which consists of commitments that bind two or more parties.
- A single commitment may be made to multiple parties at once; it is a single commitment
  rather than multiple commitments if the same action would fulfill the obligation
  to all the parties simultaneously. For example, a performer makes a single commitment
  to hold a performance to all ticket purchasers; by holding the performance, the
  commitment to all parties is fulfilled in a single action.
- The manner in which a commitment is binding may vary. In a business context, we
  are typically interested in commitments that are legally binding.
examples:
- value: When signing an NDA, the signatory commits to keeping specified information
    confidential.
- value: Upon selling a treasury bill, the U.S. government makes a commitment to pay
    the purchaser a stated amount of money at a stated time.

    description: A statement about someone or something's attributes or characteristics.
    comments:
    - This property is used to describe instance data which is not part of the ontology.
      A definition and a description have different semantics. Use skos:definition
      for a statement of the meaning of a thing and gist:description to describe a
      thing's attributes, characteristics, or features.
    examples:
    - value: A person does not have a definition, but might be described as being
        six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes; an ontology class or taxonomy
        term has a definition.
    - value: '''The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in midtown
        Manhattan in New York City. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built
        from 1930 to 1931.'''
