<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Example of a conditional association:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Let’s say you have a genetic relation
association between George W. Bush and George Bush, George W. Bush plays the
role as the son and George Bush plays the role as the father. There is also a
genetic relation association between George Bush and Prescott S. Bush, where
George Bush plays the role as the son and Prescott S. Bush plays the role as
the father. Now with these two associations in place the conditional
association would be a genetic relation association between George Bush and Prescott
S. Bush, where George Bush plays the role as grandson and Prescott S. Bush
plays the role as grandfather. In other words; the grandpa-grandson association
would be implicitly created by the conditional association definition in the
ontology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
