Please clarify to classify !


While organizing the terms into a semantic web, I sometimes wonder where to put certain terms! Some terms seem to belong to more than one category, with the different meanings they connote as a noun and as a verb. Certain other terms seem to remain aloof, not fitting into any of the identified categories. (Pl. see the previous post for the categories)

We earnestly request you to think over the following terms and help us to classify them better. You can give your comments in the comments field.

Mankind

Individuals

Occupations

Entrepreneurship

Risk

Needs

If I am not wrong the categories under which I should classify are: Organisms, location, time, entity, substances, object, measure, subject, state, phenomena, and
activity


Mankind – entity, as it is a group of humans that has distinct existence

Individuals - organisms, whatever the species may be.

Occupations - activity, that is for earning money and for a limited time

Entrepreneurship - activity, is the closest category, as the entrepreneurship has some goals with in a time frame. Or we can put entrepreneurship under Occupations because entrepreneurship generates income.

Risk - state, is the closest category as there is a situation of loss that is predicted

Needs - state, is the closest category as it is a condition of lack of a goods or services

I have written my suggestions below

Please have a look !

Mankind – organisms (mankind is a living organism)

Individuals – organisms (it is type of living organism only)

Occupations – activity (from dictionary: The principal activity in your life that you do to earn money so it is an activity)

Entrepreneurship - activity, (we can put entrepreneurship under occupations as it is related)

Risk - state, it shows the possibility of loss

Needs - state, it also a state of human nature and can not be measured

Hope this would be helpful to categorize
