#$Organization organizations (groups of people acting together)

> The collection of all organizations. Each instance of #$Organization is a group whose group-members are instances of #$IntelligentAgent. In each instance of #$Organization, certain relationships and obligations exist between the members of the organization, or between the organization and its members. Instances of #$Organization include both informal and legally constituted organizations. Each instance of #$Organization can undertake projects, enter into agreements, own property, and do other tasks characteristic of agents; consequently, #$Organization is a specialization of the collection #$Agent. Notable specializations of #$Organization include #$LegalGovernmentOrganization, #$CommercialOrganization, and #$GeopoliticalEntity.

### Parts Of Organizations

#$subOrganizations sub organizations **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$subOrganizations relates a particular organization to one of its sub-organizations. (#$subOrganizations ORG SUBORG) means SUBORG is a sub-organization of ORG, whether it is at the very next organizational level down, e.g., (#$subOrganizations #$NationalLeague-Baseball #$NationalLeagueEast-Baseball), or several levels down the hierarchy, e.g., (#$subOrganizations #$NationalLeague-Baseball #$NewYorkMets).

#$hasDepartments has departments **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$hasDepartments relates a particular organization to some particular department(s) within that organization. (#$hasDepartments ORG DEPT) means that ORG, an instance of #$Organization, has DEPT among its #$Departments. DEPT is a sub-organization of ORG that performs some of the activity of ORG. In Cyc, the collection #$Department (q.v.) covers generically what may be called a division, department, office, bureau, ministry, etc., within an actual organization. Commercial organizations, for example, commonly have instances of #$AccountingDepartment, #$HumanResourcesDepartment, and perhaps #$LegalDepartment, among others. For example, (#$hasDepartmentTypes KMartStoreAtParmerLane #$CustomerServiceDepartment). Government organizations have different specialized departments to carry out the functions of that government; e.g., (#$hasDepartments CityOfAustinTXCityGovernment AustinFireDepartment). Cf. #$hasDepartmentTypes.

#$hasDepartmentTypes has department types **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$hasDepartmentTypes indicates what kinds of departments a particular organization has among its sub-organizations. (#$hasDepartmentTypes ORG DEPTYP) means that a particular instance of #$Organization, ORG, has some #$Department(s) of the type DEPTYP among its sub-organizations. Note that DEPTYP in (#$hasDepartmentTypes ORG DEPTYP) does not represent a particular #$Department within ORG, but instead refers to a type of #$Department that ORG has. For example, universities have many #$AcademicDepartments, and (#$hasDepartmentTypes #$UniversityOfPittsburgh #$AcademicDepartment) is true. So is the more specialized assertion (#$hasDepartmentTypes #$UniversityOfPittsburgh #$PhilosophyDepartment). But neither assertion names a particular department.

#$Department departments **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The collection #$Department is a subset of #$Organization. An element of #$Department is a major sub-organization of a business, government, or academic organization. An element of #$Department is part of the organization to which it belongs, NOT a separate legal entity (such as a partly or wholly owned subsidiary company), and it performs some of the activity of that organization. In Cyc, the collection #$Department includes generically what may be called a division, department, office, bureau, ministry, etc., within an actual organization. Common types of departments include those represented by the subsets #$LegalDepartment, #$SecurityDepartment, #$PayrollDepartment, #$AccountingDepartment, #$HumanResourcesDepartment, #$AcademicDepartment, and CustomerServiceDepartment (and many others).

#$BuyingGroup buying groups **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The collection of buying groups (also known as group purchasing organizations, bid groups, or purchasing groups). Each is a group of independent instititutions (or a system of institutions) such as hospitals, nursing homes, or schools, that contracts with suppliers to get good deals in buying objects or services. Buying groups typically charge membership fees. Each member is an organization. If a buying group enters into a sales contract with a manufacturer or supplier, then any member of the buying group can make purchases under that contract.

### People Related To Organizations

#$hasMembers member (cotemporal predicate) **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$hasMembers relates a particular organization to the agents who are members of that organization. This predicate indicates `generic' membership, although there may be specialized kinds of membership in the same organization. (#$hasMembers ORG AGENT) means that AGENT is a member of the #$Organization ORG; typically, membership eligibility is determined by ORG and accepted with AGENT's voluntary affiliation. In general, a member may be any #$Agent, including other #$Organizations (such as member countries in the United Nations), although only instances of #$Person can be members of instances of #$OrganizationOfPeopleOnly. The truth of an assertion made with #$hasMembers may be time-dependent and, if so, should be qualified appropriately. For example, (#$holdsIn (#$YearFn 1975) (#$hasMembers #$UnitedNationsOrganization #$Taiwan-RepublicOfChina) is true, but (#$holdsIn (#$YearFn 1995) (#$hasMembers #$UnitedNationsOrganization #$Taiwan-RepublicOfChina) is not.

#$hasWorkers employed

> The predicate #$hasWorkers relates two instances of #$Agent. (#$hasWorkers AGENT1 AGENT2) means that AGENT2 regularly works for AGENT1. This predicate can be used to relate a business to its employees, a master craftsman to his apprentices, or an organization to its subcontractors. Note that (#$hasWorkers AGENT1 AGENT2) does not necessarily imply that AGENT2 is an employee of AGENT1, since AGENT2 may be working voluntarily for AGENT1. Note also that assertions using #$hasWorkers should usually be temporally qualified, since when one agent regularly works for another, that agent usually does so only for a portion of his, her, or its life, rather than for all of it.

#$worksWith works with **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$worksWith relates two agents who in some way work together. The two #$Agents may be people or organizations. (#$worksWith AGENT1 AGENT2) means that AGENT1 and AGENT2 work together or cooperate in some activity for mutual benefit. They may or may not work for the same employer. Some types of relationships that provide a basis for assertions using #$worksWith include: coworkers in a company, an employee and his boss, organizations affiliated in some endeavor, a professional and her client, professionals and their representatives. Examples: a research organization #$worksWith its shareholding companies; a #$Novelist #$worksWith his or her #$PublishingCompany; an #$EntertainmentOrArtsProfessional #$worksWith his or her agent (i.e., #$ArtistOrEntertainerRepresentative).

#$employees employee (human relationship) **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> This predicate relates employers to their paid employees. (#$employees EMPLOYER WORKER) means WORKER regularly performs work for EMPLOYER, and EMPLOYER pays WORKER for that work (often by paycheck). EMPLOYER directs the manner in which WORKER performs the work and may provide the workplace, tools, capital, and other assistance for the work. EMPLOYER is commonly an organization but may be a person. E.g., (#$employees PerryMason PaulDrake). Uses of this predicate require proper temporal qualification; e.g. (#$holdsIn (#$YearFn 1999) (#$employees #$NBC-TVNetwork #$KatieCouric).

#$hasPositionIn has position in **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$hasPositionIn is used to relate a particular person to his or her position in a particular organization. (#$hasPositionIn PER ORG POS-TYPE) means that the #$Person PER works in the #$Organization ORG, in a position of type POS-TYPE. POS-TYPE may or may not specifically indicate PER's occupational field or training; that is, one individual occupying a position of #$Manager may be a #$MarketingPerson, while another is an #$ElectricalEngineer. In addition, POS-TYPE may or may not correspond to an official `Job Title' (cf. #$hasTitle) or be the primary occupation of PER. Contrast, e.g., (#$hasPositionIn JerryLewis MarchOfDimes #$Spokesman) with (#$hasPositionIn DellaStreet PerryMasonsLawOffice #$Secretary). Note that assertions using #$hasPositionIn should be properly time-constrained, for example with #$holdsIn.

#$hasLeaders has leaders **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> This predicate is used to identify the highest-ranking #$Person(s) (or #$Organization(s), if applied to a group of organizations) directing a particular group. (#$hasLeaders GROUP LEADER) means that LEADER is (one of) the leader(s) of GROUP. If LEADER is a #$Person, s/he is an instance of #$Leader. If LEADER is an #$Organization, it is a member organization of GROUP that to some extent directs the activities or policies of GROUP.

#$keyMembers key members **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$keyMembers is used to identify an important member of a particular organization, i.e., one who plays a crucial role in its successful operation. (#$keyMembers ORG PER) means that the #$Person PER holds a key position in the #$Organization ORG. A key position in an organization is one whose vacancy would severely and negatively impact the functioning of the organization. Common key roles are: a leader (e.g., President, C.E.O., Admiral), a senior executive, a board member, a cabinet member, a junta member, a major owner, or other important decision-makers. Because #$keyMembers is closely tied to the functioning of an organization, the role and characteristics of a key member may be highly specialized; for example, #$keyMembers of a professional sports team, or #$keyMembers of a surgical practice. A key member is, or often gives input to, the organization's leader and thus may substantially influence the decisions of the organization.

> The predicate #$hasAdministrators relates a particular organization to the people who work for it as administrators. (#$hasAdministrators ORG PERSON) means PERSON works as an #$Administrator at the #$Organization ORG. Work of administrators commonly includes organizational affairs such as budgeting and accounting, scheduling, applying and interpreting regulations and policies, and processing documents related to organizational operations. Unlike a manager, an administrator may do his or her work without directing the work of other people. Some administrators may have supervisory duties and thus also belong to the collection #$Manager. E.g., (#$hasAdministrators #$Cycorp #$MaryShepherd).
