arrangement_of_individual

An <arrangement_of_individual> is a <composition_of_individual> that indicates that the part is a part of an <arranged_individual>. The temporal extent of the part is that of the whole.
An <arrangement_of_individual> may be an <assembly_of_individual>.
NOTE 1 The term "arranged" implies that parts have particular roles with respect to the whole.
NOTE 2 The natures of the relations to other parts of the whole are not specified by the arrangement relation. Relationships like <connection_of_individual> and <relative_location> would indicate this.
EXAMPLE 1 The relationship that indicates that a particular aircraft is flying as part of a formation can be represented by an instance of <arrangement_of_individual>.
EXAMPLE 2 The relationship that indicates that a particular bin in a warehouse is part of the warehouse layout can be represented by an instance of <arrangement_of_individual>.
