Superclass (SCL)

Superclass (SCL) is a semantic relation which relates an Action to one or more Actions, or a Concept to one or more Concepts. It denotes hypernym (genus proximum), i.e. the more generic conceptual class to which an Action or Concept belongs.

Example: C apple - SCL - C fruit.

Do not confuse Superclass with Classification. Classification serves to relate specific entities (PLOGESTRB) to its Class (C). All of these specific entities are then Instances of this Class.
