| Definitionskos:definition | This relationship identifies the link between a source class term and target members or species. This type of relationship is often called 'IsA'. A simple way to apply the test for validity described above is to formulate the statement '[narrower term] is a [broader term].' This relationship is also amenable to a logical \all-and-some\ test. An example that passes this test is that some members of the class succulent plants are known as cacti and that all cacti, by definition and regardless of context, are succulent plants. An example that fails the test is that some members of the class 'desert plants' are known as 'cacti', some, but not all, 'cacti' are 'desert plants'. These terms should therefore be assigned to different hierarchies in the controlled vocabulary, and both terms should be assigned to the same content object when indexing a work on \cacti as desert plants..\ Inverse relationship 'narrower generic term' is not included in this |
