BFO 2 Reference: In the past, we have distinguished two varieties of function, artifactual function and biological function. These are not asserted subtypes of BFO:function however, since the same function – for example: to pump, to transport – can exist both in artifacts and in biological entities. The asserted subtypes of function that would be needed in order to yield a separate monoheirarchy are not artifactual function, biological function, etc., but rather transporting function, pumping function, etc. |
| elucidation |
A function is a disposition that exists in virtue of the bearer’s physical make-up and this physical make-up is something the bearer possesses because it came into being, either through evolution (in the case of natural biological entities) or through intentional design (in the case of artifacts), in order to realize processes of a certain sort. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [064-001]) 功能是一种倾向，它的存在是基于载体的物理组成，且该物理组成是载体为实现一定类型的过程，通过进化（在自然生物实体的情况下）或者通过有意设计（在人工产物的情况下）的产生过程而具有的。(axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [064-001]) |
