Class: Component

name: Component
description: Something that, while having an independent existence, is inherently
  part of or designed to be part of a larger entity, such as a system or network.
comments:
- This class is not disjoint with gist:Composite, because a component may itself break
  down into smaller components.
- Physical substances, such as ingredients in a cake batter, do not meet the independent
  existence criterion, so are not components.
- This is an abstract class that is not directly instantiated. Users will define subclasses
  that are meaningful to their domain of interest.
- Many things are in a trivial sense a part of a larger thing, but are not considered
  components because they are not inherently part of that larger thing. For example,
  while a book may be part of a library (a collection of books), it is not inherently
  so, and thus is not a component. A playing card, on the other hand, could be considered
  a component in (member of) a deck of cards. This may be use case-dependent; e.g.,
  car parts might be modeled as components in an automobile manufacturing context
  but not in a retail auto parts store.
- A component may be designed or intended as part of a whole without actually being
  so; e.g., a car steering wheel that is not installed in any car.

    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.'''
