Overview / Open Energy Ontology / Class - disposition

Label: disposition

Editor note:

BFO 2 Reference: Dispositions exist along a strength continuum. Weaker forms of disposition are realized in only a fraction of triggering cases. These forms occur in a significant number of cases of a similar type.

Sub classes:

system robustness

view

Definition:

System robustness is a disposition of a system that is designed or evolved in such a way as to be resistant to total failure despite partial damage or external changes.

energy carrier disposition

view

Definition:

An energy carrier disposition is a disposition of an material entity that contains energy for conversion as usable energy.

flexibility

view

Definition:

Flexibility is a disposition of an energy system that is able to balance energy by adjusting energy supply and energy demand.

function

view

Editor note:

BFO 2 Reference: In the past, we have distinguished two varieties of function, artifactual function and biological function. These are not asserted subtypes of BFO:function however, since the same function – for example: to pump, to transport – can exist both in artifacts and in biological entities. The asserted subtypes of function that would be needed in order to yield a separate monoheirarchy are not artifactual function, biological function, etc., but rather transporting function, pumping function, etc.

greenhouse effect disposition

view

Definition:

The greenhouse effect disposition is the disposition of a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect, when it is emitted into the atmosphere.

material climate neutrality

view

Definition:

Material climate neutrality is a disposition of a material entity that conforms to some climate neutrality criterion.

material sustainability

view

Definition:

Material sustainability is a disposition is a material entity that conforms to some sustainability criteria.

resilience

view

Definition:

Resilience is a disposition of a system that represents the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize so as to retain essentially the same function, structure, and feedbacks.

volatility

view

Definition:

The volatility disposition is the disposition of a portion of matter to sublimate or evaporate from the solid or liquid form and enter the surrounding air.
