Class Hierarchy

owl:Thing › bfo:entity › bfo:continuant › bfo:specifically dependent continuant › bfo:quality › material form

Direct subclasses:

quality that inheres in a material entity by virtue of how the material entity or its material parts are physically organized at a macroscopic scale

the powder form of a dry cell culture medium; the granular form of a granulated dry cell culture medium; the cake form of a lyophilized drug product; the caked form of a moisture-exposed powder blend; the compacted form of a powder blend; the pelletized form of a processed material; the bead form of a chromatography resin;

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

This term is expected to be formalized further in IOF Core or IOF MSE WG

MaterialForm(x) → Quality(x) ∧ ∃m (MaterialEntity(m) ∧ qualityOf(x, m))

if x is a ‘material form’ then x is a ‘quality’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘material entity’
