IntentionalAct
Classhttps://www.ontologyrepository.com/CommonCoreOntologies/IntentionalAct
An Intentional Act is an act carried out by an agent in order to realise an intention: the agent acts because it aims at some end. Deliberate manufacturing, measuring and communicating are intentional acts, as against reflexive or accidental behaviour.
Examples
- an act of measuring
