Conveyance (umbel:SubjectConcept)
conveyance, conveyances, transport, transports
Definition
A collection of solid tangible objects each instance of which
is used for moving partially tangible things. A Conveyance
could be a car, ship, plane, or other vehicle for transporting
people; it could be a conveyor belt or a grocery bag for moving
goods; it could be a gun, a bow, or a cannon for launching
projectiles. Notable specializations include TransportationDevice,
whose instances actually move along with the things they transport,
and Conveyance_Stationary, whose instances remain stationary
while moving other things. Note that not all conveyances are
artifacts, as (e.g.) horses and rivers can be used to convey
things. See Conveying_Generic, TransportationEvent, and
Conveying_Stationary for the different kinds of conveying
events.
