Parents	Category	A type, quality or measurement of another entity. A Category may be expressed in a variety of forms: as A Flag ("True/False"), a Class (eg "DigitalResource"), an adjectival Quality (eg "BlackAndWhite"), a nounal Quality (eg "Audibility") or as a numeric Quantity (eg "4.33MB"). Often the same categorization can be represented in several different ways. Example: the statements "ResourceX is an AudioCreation" (Class), "ResourceX is Audible" (adjectival Quality), "ResourceX has Audibility (noun Quality)" and "ResourceX has AudibilityFlag=True" (Flag) would all mean the same thing.
