- | As the Gellish Dictionary is a taxonomy that specifies known subtypes of kinds of things, a specification of a possible kind of component implies that such a component might be more precisely classified as a subtype of the specified kind of component. Thus a knowledge model usually allows for flexibility for selecting any kinds of component from a list of possible subtypes of the specified kind of component. For example, the Gellish Dictionary specifies that there are many kinds of bearings, such as radial bearing, axial bearing, roller bearing, ball bearing, etc. Knowledge about each of those subtypes may specify that have different kinds of components and different characteristics. It may even be that manufacturer's models from their catalogues are included in (an extension of) the dictionary as further subtypes, whereas knowledge about those subtypes are specified as well. This is further discussed in the section about product types. | + | As the Gellish Dictionary is a taxonomy that specifies known subtypes of kinds of things, a specification of a possible kind of component implies that such a component might be more precisely classified as a subtype of the specified kind of component.
