Expressing vulnerability

[pbuttigieg]

Vulnerability as a disposition applies universally: e.g. all humans are vulnerable to drowning. However, vulnerable communities in the narratives of development are those with a higher chance or a past history of realising these dispositions.

Expressing this needs a pattern, perhaps leveraging BFO:history

For now, we're oversimplifying and stating the following for vulnerable communities etc:

'has participant' some ('collection of humans' and 'has disposition' some vulnerability)

Axiom added. I leave this issue open because @pbuttigieg mentioned that the solution needs refinement.

This axiom should be added to the processes involving vulnerable communities, not to 'vulnerability' directly

[Mttbnchtt]

The axiom for processes involving vulnerable community is there. Do we want " 'has part' some ('collection of humans' and ('has disposition' some vulnerability))" for "vulnerable communities"?

[Mttbnchtt]

Better not, since "vulnerable community" is already a subclass of "collection of humans".
