Four Terms to Drop from FIO

[CooperStansbury]

The following four terms are the only terms that 'tie' our ontology to dideo. I would like to remove dideo from the ontology imports in order to have a more manageable ontology structure for FIO. We need to assess the need for these terms. I believe that none of these terms are critical and that the terms that are subclasses of IAO_000178 should be properly placed elsewhere anyway.

• IAO_0000005: objective specification. This is a subclass of 'directive information entity.' definition "a directive information entity that describes an intended process endpoint. When part of a plan specification the concretization is realized in a planned process in which the bearer tries to effect the world so that the process endpoint is achieved."

• IAO_0000015: information carrier. This is a subclass of 'quality' (which is a subclass of 'specifically dependent continuant'). definition "A quality of an information bearer that imparts the information content"

• IAO_0000033: directive information entity. definition "An information content entity whose concretizations indicate to their bearer how to realize them in a process.

• IAO_000178: material information bearer. The reason we should address this term is because we have declared two subclasses of IAO_000178. Intervention_Report and Situation_Data_Storer. I believe that both of these classes can be moved to a better place in the ontology.

Yes, please do remove these until we are ready to reconsider them
