Property information

a relation between a quality and an independent continuant (the bearer), in which the quality specifically depends on the bearer for its existence

comment

This relation is modeled after the BFO relation of the same name which was in BFO2, but is used in a more restricted sense - specifically, we model this relation as functional (inherited from characteristic-of). Note that this relation is now removed from BFO2020.

editor note

A quality inheres in its bearer at all times for which the quality exists.
