Annotations (1)

  • rdfs:comment "A quality can be stative or dynamic. A quality is dynamic if the entity possessing this quality must exert some effort in order to maintain the quality. Stative qualities hold regardless of any particular process. Dynamic qualities can be expressed using the present progressive tense, i.e. they can take the form: `X is being quality.' John is being clever/skillful/creative/enthusiastic. Stative qualities cannot take this form: *John is being dead/German/tall. These can take the simple present only."(xsd:string)
