has pre material state

IRI: https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/construct/hasPreMaterialState

Defined In: https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/core/Core/

Type: Object Property

Range: material state

Definition

relation between a process or event and a material state that holds when the material state meets, overlaps, or starts the process or event

Explanatory Notes

The pre-material state is a material state at the beginning of a process or event. It may end when the process or event begins, begin together with it, or begin before it and continue into its initial part.

Examples

  • a thawing process has pre material state the frozen state of the material; a mixing process has pre material state the heterogeneous state of the material; a filling process has pre material state the empty state of the receiving container;
