Closure

Class
https://www.ontologyrepository.com/CommonCoreOntologies/Closure

Closure is a quality of an artifact that concerns the degree to which it is, or can be, closed or sealed against passage. A valve, a container and a fastener bear closure qualities that condition how they realise their functions.

Examples

  • the seal integrity of a housing
  • the closed state of a valve

Where it sits in the suite

Closure is defined in the Common Core Ontologies, a mid-level suite that specialises the top-level categories of Basic Formal Ontology. It is released as part of the maintained, logically consistent CCO release and is reused across the connected ontology modules.
