basedUpon : sub_property_of : successor_of

This relationship is used to denote that one thing was inspired by, derived from, etc. another. For example, "BladeRunner [is] basedUpon DoAndroidsDreamOfElectronicSheep".

This relationship is used to relate two other relationships to each other. The statement "A is a SubProperty-Of B" says that the relationship A makes a more specific, narrow claim about items it relates than the relationship B does. However, if the system has special behavior or handling for relationship B, the 'SubProperty Of' statement allows it to determine it should apply that special behavior to A as well. For example, when drawing relationship graphs, the system attempts to draw all instances of 'Symmetric Relationship" in a primarily horizontal way. There is a built-in statement that "Peer-Of is a SubProperty-Of Symmetric-Relationship", which causes 'Peer Of' relationships to be (preferentially) drawn horizontally, as will be any other types of relationships that are added to a sontology.

This relationship states that the subject (left-hand side) of the relationship ("N" in the relationship "N is a Successor-Of M") follows the object in some type of ordered sequence or collection. # relationships grounding those above
