I realise that I was not quite rigorous in what I said about transitivity in my message earlier today. To clarify, as I understand them to be used in the thesaurus community and in ISO standards: The generic relationship BTG is transitive The partitive relationship BTP is transitive The generalised relationship BT can not be assumed to be transitive, because different occurrences of it may represent a mixture of the above types. Transitivity does not arise in the instance relationship BTI because you can't have an instance of an instance.
