Excellent then the revised property, scope note and examples would be:-
Pxx conceptually follows (conceptually precedes) Domain: E55 Type Range: E55 Type Quantification: many to many (0,n:0,n) This property allows instances of E55 Type to be declared as having an order relative to other instances of E55 Type, without necessarily having a specific value associated with either instance. This allows, for example, for an E55 Type instance representing the concept of "good" to follow the E55 Type instance representing the concept of "average". This property is transitive, and thus if "average" follows "poor", then "good" also follows "poor". In the domain of statistics, types that participate in this kind of relationship are called "Ordinal Variables"; as opposed to those without order which are called "Nominal Variables". This property allows for queries that select based on the relative position of participating E55 Types. Examples: * Good (E55) conceptually follows Average (E55) * Map Scale 1:10000 (E55) conceptually follows Map Scale 1:20000 (E55) * Fire Hazard Rating 4 (E55) conceptually follows Fire Hazard Rating 3 (E55) How does that seem?
