gist:Contract Needed #28

Closed tedhills closed 5 years ago

tedhills commented 6 years ago

We could really use a class, gist:Contract, defined as a subclass of gist:Agreement, defined as follows:

a formal and legally binding agreement

DanCarey404 commented 6 years ago

Sorry for the delayed reply...

Just out of curiosity, why not have a category :AgreementType with an instance to cover Contract?

On the other hand, Contract is such a common and fundamental concept within business, it probably would not create confusion to introduce the class even without a formal restriction available for it.

tedhills commented 6 years ago

Dan, I think the answer is implicit in your own observation: “Contract is such a common and fundamental concept within business”. I think therefore it deserves its own class. Also, other ontologies like FIBO have a Contract class, that having one in gist improves inter-operability.

Thanks,

Ted

The question is what we want to say about a Contract that is more than just an agreement, There a zillions of kinds of contract also.

The current gist definition of Agreement is—pardon me—a bit silly:

A contract or other binding agreement, usually evidenced by signature(s).

First of all, as any lawyer will tell you—and contrary to popular belief—verbal agreements can be binding, so the emphasis on a signature is odd. That sounds like a definition for a class such as WrittenAgreement—which evokes Contract, but is not Contract.

Second, how do we represent an informal, non-enforceable agreement such as an agreement to meet somewhere, if we can’t use gist:Agreement? For example: “Let’s meet at the fountain in the mall at 2:30.” I can imagine real business scenarios where we

So, I think we should alter gist to have the following definitions.

Agreement: something which two or more SocialBeings intend in cooperation.

Contract: an Agreement which can be enforced by law

There can then be an unlimited number of subclasses of Agreements and Contracts, with the fundamental distinction regarding enforcement remaining.

Thanks,

Ted

Fair points, the legal part is a good distinction.

This following does not quite catch the maning however: “something which two or more SocialBeings intend in cooperation”.

Not sure how best to improve it.

The current gist definition of Agreement is—pardon me—a bit silly:

A contract or other binding agreement, usually evidenced by signature(s).

First of all, as any lawyer will tell you—and contrary to popular belief—verbal agreements can be binding, so the emphasis on a signature is odd. That sounds like a definition for a class such as WrittenAgreement—which evokes Contract, but is not Contract.

Second, how do we represent an informal, non-enforceable agreement such as an agreement to meet somewhere, if we can’t use gist:Agreement? For example: “Let’s meet at the fountain in the mall at 2:30.” I can imagine real business scenarios where we

So, I think we should alter gist to have the following definitions.

Agreement: something which two or more SocialBeings intend in cooperation.

There can then be an unlimited number of subclasses of Agreements and Contracts, with the fundamental distinction regarding enforcement remaining.

Sorry for the delayed reply...

Just out of curiosity, why not have a category :AgreementType with an instance to cover Contract?

On the other hand, Contract is such a common and fundamental concept within business, it probably would not create confusion to introduce the class even without a formal restriction available for it.

Sorry for the delayed reply...

Just out of curiosity, why not have a category :AgreementType with an instance to cover Contract?

On the other hand, Contract is such a common and fundamental concept within business, it probably would not create confusion to introduce the class even without a formal restriction available for it.

tldr

Ok with a Contract sub class (we used to have one and took it out cuz we weren't using it) . Actually looks like it moved to gistFina and it is a subtype of Agreement

tedhills commented 6 years ago

OK, here's the wrap-up on this issue.

  1. Replace the current definition of :Agreement ("A contract or other binding agreement, usually evidenced by signature(s).") with "something which two or more SocialBeings mutually commit to do".

  2. Add a subclass of :Agreement called :Contract, defined as "an Agreement which can be enforced by law".
