Physical World
The upper ontology defining the most general concepts from the physical world as opposed to the virtual realm.
There were two location one more exhaustive model in phWorld with support for image recognition, positioning of objects and space configurations and one compacter model in location.extra, which has been removed. The one in phWorld is the final one, and a few more concepts will be added.
