The example question on the first line asks for the object(s) that have a relation of type “is classified as a” with the concept “pump”. Because of the taxonomic nature of Gellish this query should also trigger software to search for subtypes of 'pump'. Thus, for example, it should also find things that are classified as a 'centrifugal pump' (which is defined as a subtype of 'pump'). \\ | The example question on the first line asks for the object(s) that have a relation of type “is classified as a” with the concept “pump”.

The name of an unknown may consist of multiple terms. The first term of a multi term name of an unknown might be followed by the name of a kind, which should be interpreted by software as a requirement for the kind that classifies the searched individual thing(s). For example the query: 'which pump is part of Unit-100' specifies two requirements in one expression, because it asks for individual things that are classified as a pump and that are parts of Unit-100. | The name of an unknown may consist of multiple terms.
