This is the "Association Theory" form. It is used to create new entries for ontological claims about aggregation, composition, and other association relations. When the form is used to create a new association theory (as opposed to merely editing an existing one), it expects one of the following parameter to be passed onto the query string:

query string=
 Term= //the left class
