Artifact and Device Vocabulary

A specialization of #$InanimateThing. Each instance of #$Artifact is an at least partially tangible thing which was intentionally created by an #$Agent (or a group of #$Agents working together) to serve some purpose or perform some function. In order to create an instance of #$Artifact, it is not necessary that an #$Agent create the matter out of which the #$Artifact is composed; rather, an #$Agent can create an instance of #$Artifact by assembling or modifying existing matter. Examples of #$Artifacts include a wooden flute that's been whittled from a tree branch, a sawhorse that's been put together out of boards and nails, and a coin that's been minted by embossing or by melting liquid silver into a mold. In addition to the obvious human artifacts (buildings, tools, textiles, power lines), the collection #$Artifact also includes certain sorts of things made by #$Animals, such as bird nests, termite mounds, and beaver dams. Artifacts without any tangible parts are excluded from the collection #$Artifact; they are included in the collection #$Artifact-Intangible.

A specialization of both #$Artifact and #$SolidTangibleProduct. Each instance of #$PhysicalDevice is an artifact with a relatively rigid, set shape, designed for a specific use or to perform a specific function. Specializations of #$PhysicalDevice thus include (among others) #$RoadVehicle, #$Motorboat, #$HandTool, and #$PlumbingFixture. Note that artifacts which can only be used in a very loose or metaphorical sense, such as instances of #$Sculpture, #$FlowerBed, or #$Advertisement-IBT, are _not_ instances of #$PhysicalDevice. Moreover, artifacts which have a specific use or function, but which do not have a relatively rigid, set shape are _not_ instances of #$PhysicalDevice; for this reason, neither #$GasolineFuel nor #$AntiFreeze are specializations of #$PhysicalDevice.

A collection of substances; a subcollection of #$Artifact. An instance of #$ArtificialMaterial is a portion of artificial stuff that was intentionally made by some agent(s), such as #$Plastic or #$SweetNLow. Since #$ArtificialMaterials are intentionally produced, this class does not normally include materials which are merely #$byProducts or #$wasteProducts of an intentional process. However, what is a by-product at one time or in one context may be a useful material that would count as an instance of #$ArtificialMaterial in another.

Note: Only higher level collections have been released. More specific collections, such as #$Chair, #$Telephone, and #$Hammer, have been omitted.

#$NonPoweredDevice   non-powered devices

A specialization of #$PhysicalDevice. Each instance of #$NonPoweredDevice is a device which does not need to have any kind of energy supplied to it in order for it to perform its intended function. Examples of #$NonPoweredDevices include tables, floor mats, bookshelves, shirts, and coat hangars. A hammer would not be an instance of #$NonPoweredDevice, since it requires kinetic energy to perform its intended function.

#$SomethingToWear is a specialization of #$DurableGoods, #$Device-SingleUser, #$PersonalProduct, and #$PortableObject. Each instance of #$SomethingToWear is an object that a mannequin or an animal (usually a person) wears on its body, i.e., in a #$WearingSomething event. It is worth remarking that, in such an event, the wearer doesn't have to exert any intentional effort to continue wearing the object. For example, shirts remain on people's torsos, hats stay on heads, rings on fingers; once in place, dog collars stay on dogs, saddles stay on horses. By contrast, a hula hoop is NOT an example of #$SomethingToWear. A borderline case is a #$Purse, which at first blush seems to be something to wear, yet requires carrying by the performer, hence is not a member of this collection. Similarly, a briefcase is not an instance of #$SomethingToWear.

A collection of tangible things. An instance of #$ControlPanel is the physical part of a device where all (or most) of the controls for the device are located. E.g., the instrument panel of a car or plane. Note: A device's control panel may be unattached from (and used to control) the rest of the device --- e.g., a TV remote control. So in some contexts, the TV is a compound object consisting of two physically separated parts; in other contexts, the remote control is a separate device (a #$ControlDevice) from the TV. See also #$ControlDevice.

A collection of tangible objects, containers which are designed to spray out their contents, and which are more or less self-contained systems for doing so. An instance of #$SprayContainer is a container for liquids which has a part that causes the contents to spread out into a mist when they are emitted. Aerosol cans, plant sprayers, and inhalant devices (e.g., for asthma medication) are all instances of #$SprayContainer. Non-examples include lawn sprinklers, the spray nozzles that fit on the end of hoses, a rain cloud, a runny nose, etc. A borderline example includes the case where a powder is being sprayed, rather than a liquid.

direct specialization of: #$MechanicalDevice  

A collection of devices. Each instance of #$Handle is a part (it might be a detachable part, it might be a specially shaped region of a thing) of another object, of which it is the handle. Each instance of #$Handle is a physical device which is designed to be grasped with the human hand in such a way that the grasper can more easily control his or her orientation to the object that the handle is attached to. In most cases, handles are intended to help in manipulating the object, by allowing the user to move the object in a more controlled way than s/he could without the handle. Handles are found on cookware, suitcases, crutches, doors, hand-held and hand-powered tools -- in fact, on most artifacts that humans need to manipulate frequently and which are bigger and heavier than a dinner plate or a book. In other, less common cases, handles are provided on objects (a) to facilitate moving oneself around the object (rather than vice versa), e.g., handles on a pommel horse or other exercise equipment, or on a ladder, in a spacecraft, or pounded into a rock face; or (b) for holding oneself stationary with respect to some moving object, e.g., handles inside a subway car. Note that handles are sometimes used to perform other functions, such as hanging one's dry cleaning from the little handle above the rear door of a passenger car.

A specialization of #$PoweredDevice. Each instance of #$HeatingDevice is a device whose primary function (see the predicate #$primaryFunction) is to generate heat to raise the temperature of something else. The thing being heated might be in gaseous form (for example, the air in a room), in liquid form (for example, the water in a pool), or in solid form (for example, food in an oven). A given instance of #$HeatingDevice typically has some energy input, some way of converting that energy to heat, and some way of delivering the heat to the object(s) to be heated.

A set of physical devices. An instance of #$BuiltInDevice is an object that is a device in and of itself, is also a part of another object, and typically was added to the other object when that object was constructed. Note: Its function may or may not be intrinsically dependent upon its being part of the object it was added to; e.g., the function of a built-in odometer is to measure miles driven on the car of which it is a part, but the intrinsic function of a built-in clock or CD player installed in that same automobile is not dependent on its being part of the automobile.

#$HardwareTool is a specialization of #$Tool. Each instance of #$HardwareTool is an object used to perform a task, usually by applying a particular kind of force to another object. The tool is used to produce a physical effect in the position, structure, or arrangement of the other object. Specializations of #$HardwareTool include #$Hammer, #$Screwdriver, and #$HandSaw. Borderline nonexamples include eating utensils, robot servants, screws, nails, and levers.

A collection of physical devices. An instance of #$MixingDevice is a device whose #$primaryFunction is to mix up substances --- usually substances of some particular sorts (salads, paint, etc.) Typically, an instance of #$MixingDevice is used with some kind of container in which the stuff to be mixed is contained during the mixing. In some types of #$MixingDevice, the mixer is a #$BuiltInDevice with the container (e.g., a cement truck, a blender) and in some cases it isn't (e.g., a hand-held electric mixer that is designed to be held above any large bowl.)

A collection of solid tangible objects each instance of which is used for moving partially tangible things. A #$Conveyance could be a car, ship, plane, or other vehicle for transporting people; it could be a conveyor belt or a grocery bag for moving goods; it could be a gun, a bow, or a cannon for launching projectiles. Notable specializations include #$TransportationDevice, whose instances actually move along with the things they transport, and #$Conveyance-Stationary, whose instances remain stationary while moving other things. Note that not all conveyances are artifacts, as (e.g.) horses and rivers can be used to convey things. See #$Conveying-Generic, #$TransportationEvent, and #$Conveying-Stationary for the different kinds of conveying events.

direct generalization of: #$TransportationDevice #$Conveyance-Stationary #$TransportationContainerProduct

A specialization of both #$Conveyance and #$PhysicalDevice. Each instance of #$TransportationDevice is an artifact designed to move an object from one location to another, by (for example) carrying, pulling, or pushing the transported object. Instances of this collection may or may not have their own power source (see #$SelfPoweredDevice). Those that do, such as automobiles and speedboats, constitute the specialization #$TransportationDevice-Vehicle. Other transportation devices (for example, instances of #$Wheelbarrow or #$Bicycle) require an external motive force. Because #$transporter and #$transportees are specializations of #$objectMoving, it follows that any object in the role of #$transporter moves as a whole with those objects playing the role of #$transportees. Consequently, since any instance of #$TransportationDevice has playing the role of #$transporter as its intended function, stationary objects which cause motion, such as conveyor belts, escalators, rocket launchers, and slingshots, are excluded from the collection #$TransportationDevice. Although they facilitate travel, ice skates, shoes, skis and other instances of #$WearableConveyance are also excluded from the collection #$TransportationDevice, since they are devices which are worn rather than ridden on, ridden with, or ridden in.

Each instance of #$RoadVehicle is a vehicle designed primarily for travel on roads (although some instances may also have limited off-road capabilities). Notable specializations of #$RoadVehicle include #$Automobile, #$Truck, and #$Bus-RoadVehicle. Since #$RoadVehicle is a specialization of #$TransportationDevice-Vehicle, each instance of #$RoadVehicle is self-powered. Consequently, road transportation devices which are not self-powered (for example, all the instances of #$Bicycle) are not included in this collection.

A collection of mechanical devices. An instance of #$CollapsibleDevice is a device that is designed so that its shape (i.e., configuration of its parts) can be changed by collapsing (and uncollapsing) it. This is a secondary function of some devices so that they can take up less space when they aren't being used for their #$primaryFunction. (So #$CollapsibleDevices are typically devices that either aren't used often and/or must be kept or carried in a small space.) Most #$CollapsibleDevices are collapsed in their storage (or unused) state and unfolded during use; e.g., instances of #$SofaBed, #$FoldingChair, and #$FoldingTable, also, #$EyeGlasses and most elements of #$TentTheShelter. See also #$Collapsible (a #$PhysicalStructuralAttribute). Note: A marginal case, one which is better left outside this collection, is a collapsable front/rear of a car. While it is a device, and collapsable, most of the things one would wish to state about a typical #$CollapsibleDevice would FAIL to be true for the crushable car end.

A collection of physical devices. An instance of #$SecurityDevice is any device designed to protect people or goods from being harmed (or stolen) intentionally. Some instances of #$SecurityDevice accomplish this by keeping unauthorized or unwelcome intruders away from the people or materials in question (e.g., elements of #$AntiTheftDevice, #$PerimeterSensor). Others are designed to make it impossible or difficult to remove goods (e.g., elements of #$Lock). Compare with #$SafetyDevice, whose elements are designed to protect an object or animal against accidental harm. Of course some devices play multiple roles --- a single fence may be a security device to keep burglars out, and may protect toddlers from wandering in and falling into a swimming pool.

direct specialization of: #$Individual  

A collection of physical devices. An instance of #$MusicalInstrument is a device that (in the standard case) is designed to be manipulated by a person to generate music -- that is, s/he successively plays the notes of the music by manipulating the instrument during the playing. Possibly the player also supplies by muscle power the force that produces the sound, but possibly it uses another power source (e.g., electricity, or steam). The music may or may not be of his or her own composition, but the player's actions determine that the notes are produced by the instrument (in the standard sense). Note: If the directive role of the human player is subsumed by the device -- as it is, e.g., by some electronic instruments which are programmable and/or pre-programmed to produce music or musical sounds -- the device loses some of its instrument-like quality, and some automated uses may be abnormal cases of `playing' an instrument. An older but analogous example is: player pianos. If the device is pre-programmed so that humans can't direct the music at all, then the device is not a musical instrument (but a musical device) -- for example, music boxes. Also excluded from #$MusicalInstrument are devices which produce music `at random' (such as wind chimes). Devices such as radios, tape decks, CD players, which are used to play wholly pre-recorded or otherwise other-controlled music, are also not included in this collection.

Other examples of #$SelfPoweredDevices are the instances of #$Automobile, which (typically) convert gasoline and battery power to get the energy to move. Of course, some muscle power is involved in operating both a cordless drill and an automobile, but in neither case is it the main part of the power. Negative exemplars of a #$SelfPoweredDevice include all instances of #$Bicycle (powered by the people who ride them), cable cars (since they are pulled along by cables embedded in the street) and subway trains (often powered by an electrified `third rail').
