Action/Event Equivalent (AEE)

The Action/Event Equivalent Relation (AEE) serves to translate (both ways) between the world of Actions and Concepts. For instance, for A "to baptize", would have the AEE would be C "baptism".

Importantly,Since any specific Event which happens to be a baptism should have the Classification C "baptism", all specific "baptism" Events and all Statements with the Action "to baptize" can be queried together in the database.

Just as importantly, AEE is a way for verbs to acquire coherent Superclasses. While te Superclass Relation is allowed for Actions, most verbs do not have manifest Superclassess:Superclassess. e.g.,For instance, A "to baptize" does not have any Superclass ofsuch Aas "* to ritualize", while C "baptism" can acquire quite a straightforward Superclass tree (e.g. C "Christian ritual", which in turn will have the Superclass C "ritual"). These Superclasses ofacquired through AEE are shown under Actions in InkVisitor, thereby helping coders to decide whether an Action fits the specific context. They are of course vital for analytical queries which aim at, for instance, all Actions and Events constituting a ritual.

Since any specific Event, which is a baptism, should have the Classification C "baptism", all specific "baptism" Events and all Statements with the Action "to baptize" can also be queried together in the database.
