Question on Act of Consumption definition

[swartik]

The definition of class Act of Consumption is:

A Planned Act in which a resource is ingested or used up.

Does "resource" refer to class ont00000740 (that is, should the label be capitalized), or is the definition's wording only suggestive?

@swartik, I am not sure about the answer to your question. Perhaps @APCox or @mark-jensen can chime in.

However, I am planning to jettison the class Resource and revise definitions referencing it. Resource as defined should be a subclass of or defined in terms of Roles. I grant that "resource" can be used as a way of speaking to capture examples such as a "a plot of land" or "group of interns" - as referenced in the examples attached to that class. We aim to be more precise.

Moving this to discussion in the meantime.

@johnbeve I'm glad to learn you're planning to reconsider Resource in terms of roles. I'm developing an ontology that treats a resource as a kind of role. I'm still going back and forth on the accompanying processes. I hope others can submit their uses cases.
