Classifying Partitive Relators

Mazzocchi, F., Tiberi, M., De Santis, B., & Plini, P. (2007) Relational semantics in thesauri: some remarks at theoretical and practical levels. Knowledge Organization 34:4, 197-214., 208) lists five types of partitive relationship beyond type/kind and whole/part. Two are addressed in these consecutive bullets. Shopping/Paying is addressed within causal relationships. Object/stuff (bike/steel) would best be captured by linked notation using the ‘for’ relator. Area/place (desert/oasis) should be captured within a hierarchical classification of topography.
