Object property
https://www.ontologyrepository.com/CommonCoreOntologies/process_precedes

The relation process precedes holds between one process and a later process that it comes before in time. It orders processes along the temporal dimension without requiring them to be adjacent.

In a statement this reads as bfo:Process process_precedes bfo:Process. The property links a subject in its domain to a value in its range.

Where it sits in the suite

process precedes 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.
