Template:Definitional Topic

This is the template for Definitional topics. This template is to be used for all terms (topics, the answers to which are definitions). It incorporates an ontology section where the ontology related to the term is summarized.

Among other things, the template creates a hierarchy of classes and adds several lists by means of Template:SetTermInheritanceHierarchy.

It should be called in the following format:

{{Definitional Topic
|Metaclass= {Association, Endurant, Perdurant (State/Interval or Event/Time Point), Property/Attribute/Quality} - the list will be clarified. Endurant is the default.
|Association Theory= //the association that this term captures (e.g. Authority Delegation is a term that captures an association between two communities). Used only when Metaclass=Association
