Example for genereically dependent continuant #130

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The BFO 2.0 draft specification Section 3.8 gives as an example of a 
generically dependent continuant "the pdf file on your laptop". It was raised 
by Steve Wartik that this is confusing as it does not clearly distinguishes 
from a concretization. It is not clear what "on your laptop" means. Also, 
"file" has been interpreted by some to hint for harddisk. Examples should be 
less ambiguous.

Proposal by BP (supporterted on mailing list by AR and MB): Change the example 
to:

"A pdf file existing in multiple concretizations on your laptop (displayed on 
screen, stored on the harddisk, stored in RAM memory)."
