musical genre popular in the 1980s. Popularity, however, is
not the only criterion for being 'pop' music.
During that decade, for instance, pop songs would be played
on 'Top 40' music stations and pop musicians were
major celebrities and cultural icons called upon to
represent products and institute fads. Musicians whose style

#$ATGMLauncher-Eryx is a Short Range Anti-Armour
Weapon (Heavy) or SRAAW(H). It is a portable system
including the firing post, the tripod, the Mirabel thermal
imager and the missile tube. It provides the infantry
section and the armoured reconnaissance assault troop with
an improved capability in accuracy and penetration. Fired
from the shoulder or using the tripod, Eryx can defeat all
modern static or moving tanks. With its tandem high
explosive warhead, it is effective against bunkers, earth
works, and armour targets even when equipped with explosive
reactive armour (ERA). Eryx can operate in all weather
conditions, in normal battlefield smoke and at night. Its
high flexibility allows it to operate in open ground, wooded
zones or an enclosed space in built-up areas.

guidance system will do the rest. The missile is guided for
its entire trajectory by an automatic device of remote
control using the infra-red radiation (MILAN 1) or an
electronic-flash lamp (MILAN 2). Milan, which was initially
developed for the French and German infantry, is now in
service in 41 countries all over the world.

be19cf2e-9c29-11b1-9dad-c379636f7270
A specialization of #$LocationalPredicate.
Instances of #$AbsoluteLocationalPredicate relate an
instance of #$SpatialThing to its location in an embedding
space, i.e. the region it occupies, either wholly, or
partially, or by the occupied region's intersecting a
space region of lower dimension. See also #$SpaceRegion.
These predicate do not relate two objects that are located
in a common embedding space, for which compare to
#$RelativeLocationalPredicate. We are distinguishing the
object located and the container space that this object
occupies in some manner. By convention, we require that the
portion of space that serves as an exact or partial location
occupies the second argument place of an absolute
locational predicate . By default, we are conceiving space
as a three dimensional domain, most of the time we will
therefore map objects of dimension three and less into a
three dimensional embedding homogeneous domain. In the
geographical domain, we are projecting the three dimensional
space on a surface locally flat.

bd588436-9c29-11b1-9dad-c379636f7270
A specialization of #$AbstractStructure. Each
instance of #$AbstractInformationStructure is an abstract
individual comprising abstract symbols and relations between
them. Important specializations of this collection include
#$CharacterString and #$Sentence.
#$AbstractInformationStructure also includes abstract
diagrams, graphs, and bit strings. The collection can be
more precisely defined as follows: Each
#$AbstractInformationStructure is such that each of its
physical instantiations (see #$instantiationOfAIS) consists
of instantiations of instances of #$AtomicSymbol-Abstract,
arranged in a certain way. For example, the abstract
sentence 'The pig flies' is an
#$AbstractInformationStructure. Each written instantiation
of it consists of an instantiation of the words (symbols)
'The', 'pig' and 'flies',
written in that order. (If the
#$AbstractInformationStructure 'The pig flies'
were spoken, the same words would appear in the same order,
i.e. 'The' first, etc., but the sequence would be
determined by the arrangement of the spoken words in time,
rather than space.) Likewise with abstract diagrams, graphs,
etc. Each of these is such that its physical instantiations
consist of arrangements of instantiations of instances of
#$AtomicSymbol-Abstract. A hard copy of a wiring diagram
consists of a group of concrete symbols representing various
circuit components, in which these symbols are spatially
arranged in a certain in way. The arrangement of the
concrete symbols in an instantiation of an
#$AbstractInformationStructure is not always a simple matter
of arrangement in space or time. The sequence of symbols
'0010010111011001' can be instantiated in written,
spoken, or electronic forms. In the last case, the order of
the symbols is determined by conventions concerning the
electronic medium in which it is stored, rather than by any
common criterion for precedence or subsequence in space or time.
c10193cc-9c29-11b1-9dad-c379636f7270
The collection of suffixes which serve to convert
words into abstract nouns. These are generally #$MassNouns.

A specialization of #$ComputerLanguage,
#$AbstractProgrammingLanguage is the collection of languages
invented for the purpose of composing computer programs
(i.e., instances of #$ComputerProgram-CW), as opposed to
merely facilitating interaction between pieces of software
or indicating how to represent pieces of text. Thus,
#$ComputerLanguages such as #$Lisp are instances of
#$AbstractProgrammingLanguage, whereas #$ComputerLanguages
such as #$HypertextMarkupLanguage are not.

A specialization of #$ShapeType (q.v.); a
collection of collections of abstract (i.e. intangible,
atemporal, and not spatially localized)
geometrically-describable things. An instance of
#$ShapeType is also an instance of #$AbstractShapeType if
and only if it is a specialization of
#$GeometricThing-Abstract (q.v.). #$AbstractShapeType is
thus disjoint with #$GeometricShapeType (q.v.), each of
whose instances has some instances that are spatially
localized and so not abstract in the present sense. See
also #$AbstractShapeTypeFn. (Note that the relevant sense
of `abstract', described above, is weaker than that
which characterizes #$AbstractThings.)

#$Relation, and #$Proposition (qq.v.). Note that a set or
collection is considered an abstract thing even if its
elements are not abstract.

that being an #$AcademicDepartment is assumed to be a single
'function', and that faceting by subjects
taught/researched is therefore a further issue.

When the name of something consists of many words,
often an acronym will be formed out of the first letter of
each word in the name and this will be used to refer to the
thing instead of the full name. For example, the
''American Association for Artificial
Intelligence'' is often referred to as AAAI.

A collection of events. Each element of
#$ActOfDissent is an event in which some agent (or agents)
publicly disapproves of, protests against, or exhibits
resistance to another agent's exercise of power.
Typically the dissenting agent is in some way subject to the
authority or power of the agent s/he acts against. An act
of dissent is inherently a social occurrence. For example,
writing a petition calling for Tibetan independence is an
act of dissent in China, even if the petition is written in
solitude and circulated by others. An act of dissent may or
may not involve violence; an act of terrorism may or may not
express dissent. An act of dissent may or may not involve
explicit communication; for example, a bombing or
assassination, or a Buddhist monk's self-immolation,
might occur without an accompanying verbal message, but its
dissenting intent might be understood (or surmised) from
context. See also #$PublicProtesting (for dissent which
involves explicit communication) and its subsets.

The collection of #$Events (q.v.) that are carried
out by some doer (see #$doneBy). Instances of #$Action
include any event in which one or more actors effect some
change in the (tangible or intangible) state of the world,
typically by an expenditure of effort or energy. Note that
it is not required that any tangible object be moved,
changed, produced, or destroyed for an action to occur; the
effects of an action might be intangible (such as a change
in a bank balance or the intimidation of a subordinate).
Note also that the doer of an action, though typically an
#$Agent (q.v.), need not be (e.g. a falling rock that dents
a car's roof). Depending upon the context, doers of
actions might be animate or inanimate, conscious or
nonconscious. For actions that are intentional, see
#$PurposefulAction and #$performedBy.
