Definition: A spatial region that has three spatial dimensions.

Parent: Spatial Region

See also: Temporal Region, Site

Modeling Notes​

  • 3D spatial regions represent the "WHERE" aspect of BFO's 7 buckets framework
  • They provide the spatial framework for where material entities exist
  • Include volumes, areas, and spatial boundaries in three dimensions
  • Essential for modeling AI system deployment locations and spatial contexts
  • Can be occupied by material entities like AI systems and infrastructure

Examples in AI Context​

  • Data center physical locations
  • Cloud computing regions and availability zones
  • Server rack spatial arrangements
  • Network coverage areas
  • Geographic service boundaries
