- changed the definition of failure condition so that now there is a single equivalence axioms
- added functionalIncompatibleWith object property, to harmonize with clif version
- changed definition of MereSymptom and removed FunctionCompatible class, to harmonize with clif version
- added comments to all entities
- added annotations to the ontology
- added (the only) two cases of sufficient conditions for FailureCondition
- changed the name \"FailureRelatedHappening\" to \"MalfunctionRelatedHappening\" as it is more coherent with the definitions of Failure and Malfunction in the ontology
- added subclass axiom to MalfunctionRelatedHappening for MereSymptom, FailureCondition, and FailureMechanism
- removed some redundant subclass axioms""" ,
"""1.3:
- corrected the annotation of non performance events (replaced 'failures' with 'faults')
- restructured, expanded, and corrected the annotations. Now the ontology is (almost) compliant with IOF's annotation guideline
- changed \"down state\" into \"abnormal external disabled state\" for better compatibility with EN-13306
- unified the namespace of malfunction related happening to 'https://www.w3id.org/malfo/'
- changed the last separator in the root IRI from \"#\" to \"/\"
- *important*: w3id.org now asks for lowercase IRIs. Therefore the ontology prefix was changed to https://www.w3id.org/malfo/ from https://www.w3id.org/MALFO/. The ontology is now exposed for get requests at that address""" .

Note that physical-consequenc is a different type than other causal-consequences (e.g., achieves). For instance, a key difference is that causal-consequence requires a (possibly extended) spatial and temporal contiguity or overlapping, while physical-consequence is `immediate'/`synchronous' and does not take place somewhere nor during some time.

there is a severed wire, external to the battery, connecting the headlight to the

external disabled state. Note also that the term ‘abnormal external disabled state’
