Arity@Frame-Ontology: 1

Documentation@Ol%Frame-Ontology:

A term is defined if it does not denote the undefined object, called bottom. (defined (F x)) means that the function F is defined for the object x. (F x) denotes its value. In relational terminology, (defined (F x)) means (exists ?y (F x ?y)).

Notes:

• DEFINED is not in the KIF 3.0 spec.
