Examples: a particular room in a particular hospital, Maria's nostril or her intestines for a variety of bacteria. Comment: An instance of "snap:Site" ("Site") is a mixture of "snap:IndependentContinuant" ("independent_continuant") entities which act as surrounding environments for other "snap:IndependentContinuant" ("independent_continuant") entities, most importantly for instances of "snap:Object" ("object"). A "snap:Site" ("site") is typically made of "snap:Object" ("object") or "snap:FiatObjectPart" ("fiat_object_part") entities and a surrounding medium in which is found a "snap:Object" ("object") occupying the "snap:Site" ("site"). "snap:IndependentContinuant" ("independent_continuant") entities may be associated with others (which, then, are sites) through a relation of "occupation". That relation is connected to, but distinct from, the relation of spatial location. "snap:Site" ("site") entities are not to be confused with "snap:SpatialRegion" ("spatial_region") entities. In BFO, "snap:Site" ("site") allows for a so-called relational view of space which is different from the view corresponding to the class "snap:SpatialRegion" ("spatial_region") (see the comment on this class). Definition: A "snap:IndependentContinuant" ("independent_continuant") consisting of a characteristic spatial shape in relation to some arrangement of other "snap:Continuant" ("continuant") entities and of the medium which is enclosed in whole or in part by this characteristic spatial shape. "snap:Site" ("site") entities are entities that can be occupied by other "snap:Continuant" ("continuant") entities. |
