! Heritable: <br><p class="sfFieldDescription" style="font-size:0.7em; color:gray;">Can a similar question be also asked about the subtypes of its subject? E.g. the question "What epistemic stances can be taken towards epistemic elements?" is heritable, as similar questions can be also asked about the subtypes of epistemic element: "What epistemic stances can be taken towards theories?", "What epistemic stances can be taken towards questions?", etc. NOTE: inherited questions are not themselves heritable.</p>

!width="30%"| Predicate: <br><p class="sfFieldDescription" style="font-size:0.7em; color:gray;">A question prompts to semantically link a subject with an object by means of a certain predicate. The predicate can be plain text or a term registered in the encyclopedia. E.g. for the question "What are the subtypes of epistemic element?", the predicate is "subtype of". For the question "Which epistemic stances can be taken towards theories?", the predicate is "can be taken towards". The predicate can be a term registered in the encyclopedia or some text.</p>

! Object Type: <br><p class="sfFieldDescription" style="font-size:0.7em; color:gray;">Semantically, a question is an RDF triple, where the subject and the predicate are known, while the object is asked for. Thus, a question asks for an object that is related by means of the given predicate to the given subject. The answer's object may be an open text or it can be something more restricting, such as a subtype of a certain class, a number, an enumeration, or even a regular expression.</p>

This is the form that is used to create/edit all non-definitional topics - descriptive or normative. The form requires that a subject is specified. It should be called exclusively from the definitional topic pages to ensure that all topics have a subject.

To create definitional topics, use Form:Definitional Topic.

NOTE: The form is a work in progress.

query string=
 Topic[Subject]= //the subject. Mandatory. Should be a page registered in the encyclopedia.
 &
 Topic[Topic Type]= //the topic type {Descriptive, Normative}. For definitional topics, use the form [[Form:Definitional Topic]] 
 &
 Topic[Subfield]= //the subfield {Ontology, Dynamics, ???}.
 &
 Topic[Inherited From]= //the question from which this question is inherited (if any).
