Synonym

Class of Classes of Entity

Description

Abstract Concept

Meta-Class (also called Class of Classes of Entity) is defined as the Class of Entity of all Class of Entitys each of whose instances is necessarily a Class of Entity.

In other word, Meta-Class is the powertype of Class of Entity: all sub-classes of Class of Entitys are instances of Meta-Class.

Since Meta-Class is itself a sub-type of Class of Entity, Meta-Class is an instance of itself.

Functional Domain: Reflexive Knowledge Graph

The Reflexive Knowledge Graph domain defines the top level constructs of Entitys, Relationships, their multi-level classification and composition.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyping	[1..0]	Power Class	Class of Entity	A PowerTyping relationship is a Classification relationship between a Class of Entity and its Power Class.
Class of Relationship	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	The Class of Relationship is the powertype of Relationship.
Specialization	[*..0]	Class of Entity	Class of Entity	A Specialization is a Typology relationship between two Class of Entitys. It relates a more concrete Class of Entity, called the sub-class, to a more abstract Class of Entity, called the super-class. It indicates that all instances of the sub Class of Entity are instances of the super Class of Entity, the extent of the sub Class of Entity is a subset of the extent of the super Class of Entity, which might be the same set.
Referencing Relationship	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	A Referencing Relationship is a Relationship that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Non-Dependency Relationship	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	A Non-Dependency Relationship is a Relationship that specifies that the existence the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality to the target Entity is [0..*].
