Axiomatization Decision LogRegistro de Decisões
1 Identity-Giving FunctionFunção Identitária
Function class
StorageFunction ⊑ ContainmentFunction
Realized in
StorageProcess ⊑ PlannedProcess
Storage is the identity-giving function that distinguishes storage tanks from other tank types like reaction tanks, mixing tanks, or separation vessels. This function is already used in the enriched 'tank' class, confirming its appropriateness for this subtype.
2 Genus DeterminationDeterminação do Gênero
Vesselbfo:Object (BFO_0000030)
Tank is the most specific appropriate superclass from the parent_candidates list and is already enriched in our ontology (function: StorageFunction, genus: Vessel). Storage tank is a specialized type of tank with additional constraints on duration and purpose of containment.
3 Differentia SpecificaDiferença Específica
∃bearerOf.ExtendedStorageFunction

Designed specifically for long-term storage rather than temporary holding during processing operations.

The differentia focuses on the extended duration and passive nature of storage, distinguishing from tanks used for active processing. ExtendedStorageFunction is a subtype of StorageFunction that emphasizes long-term retention without transformation.
4 Necessary PartsPartes Necessárias

No necessary parts recorded.

Storage tanks have specialized structural requirements for long-term service that differ from process tanks, including enhanced corrosion protection and foundation interfaces.
Process Participation SignatureAssinatura de Participação em Processo
InputsEntradas
{'type': 'FluidPortion', 'count': 1, 'constraints': 'liquid or gas for storage'}
OutputsSaídas
{'type': 'FluidPortion', 'count': 1, 'constraints': 'same composition as input, possibly with minor quality changes due to settling or stratification'}
TransformationTransformação
minimal transformation - primarily passive containment with possible settling, stratification, or minor quality changes over time
Storage tanks maintain material composition while providing long-term containment, unlike process vessels that actively transform contents.
Disjoint WithDisjunto com
Mixer
C4: Mixer. Storage tanks are designed for passive containment while reaction vessels, mixers, and active process vessels are designed for material transformation or active processing - incompatible process signatures.
