Interface Material

All Superinterfaces:

Entity, InfrastructureRoot, Serializable, Versioned

All Known Subinterfaces:

Container, Device, ManufacturedMaterial

public interface Material
extends Entity

A subtype of Entity that is inanimate and locationally independent.

Examples: Pharmaceutical substances (including active vaccines containing retarded virus), disposable supplies, durable equipment, implantable devices, food items (including meat or plant products), waste, traded goods, etc.

Discussion: Manufactured or processed products are considered material, even if they originate as living matter. Materials come in a wide variety of physical forms and can pass through different states (ie. Gas, liquid, solid) while still retaining their physical composition and material characteristics.

Rationale: There are entities that have attributes in addition to the Entity class, yet cannot be classified as either LivingSubject or Place.
