Introduction

The ontology is based on a theory of document acts proposed by Barry Smith and Reinach's theory of social acts and legal entities: Reinach, A. (1989), Sämtliche Werke. Texkritische Ausgabe, Edited by Karl Schuhmann and Barry Smith, München: Philosophia Verlag. Smith, B. (2008) “Searle and de Soto: The new ontology of the social world”, The Mystery of Capital and the Construction of Social Reality, B. Smith, D.M. Mark and I. Ehrlich, United States, Open Court., 35-52. Smith, B. (2012) "How to Do Things With Documents", Rivista di estetica, 50 (2/2012), LII: 179-198. However, there are some amendments from our side which are to be found in the documentation.

Classes

claimant rolec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IAO_0021013

Claimant roles can either be discharged by one act of fulfilling a duty (e.g. when I pay back $5 owed to a friend) or they can remain intact and require ongoing adhering to a duty. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rights/#FormRighHohfAnalSyst discuss the claim of a child to freedom from abuse. That claim remains in existence and the duty to not abuse the child needs to be continuously be acted upon, by a multitude of agents (which all have a duty holder role). This claim is mutually dependent on the duty to abstain from abusing the child.

The phrase "in need of being perceived" does not imply that only planned processes that are in fact perceived can be social acts. Reinach clarifies that by exemplifying these matters for commands: "The command is according to its essence in need of being heard (vernehmungsbedürtig". It can of course happen that commands are given without being heard. Then they fail to fulfil their purpose. They are like thrown spears which fall to the ground without hitting their target." (A. Reinach: The Apriori Foundations of the Civil Law." Edited by J. Crosby, Heusenstamm: ontos Verlag, 2012). Reinach clearly does not imply that a command that does not fulfill its prupose would not be a command. Thanks to W.R. Hogan for finding the Reinach quote.
