17.9 Kind of Individual and Subtypes
Figure 17-9, together with Figure 17-10, shows the subtype/
supertype tree for kind_of_individual and many of its subtypes.
Individuals are of the same kind if they share characteristics to a sig-
nificant degree. The subtypes of kind_of_individual are kind_of_
physical_object and kind_of_intentionally_constructed_object.
The subtypes of kind_of_physical_object are kind_of_ordinary_
physical_object, kind_of_functional_object—which is also a
subtype of intentionally_constructed_object—kind_o f_system_
component,andkind_of_bio logical_object.
The subtypes of kind_of_ordinar y_physical_object are
kind_of_ordinar y_functional_object—which is also a subtype
of functional_object—kind_of_system, and kind_of_ordinary_
biological_object.
The subtypes of intentionally_constructed_object are kind_
of_socially_constru cted_object, kind_of_organization , and
kind_of_organization_component.
17.9.1 Kind_of_biological_object
A class_of_biological_object that is also a kind_of_physical_
object where each member_of a kind_of_biological_object is of
the same kind.
