[Attempto] patterns for ACE

[Tobias Kuhn]

Hi,

One frequent pattern are subclass-statements:

   Every [noun1] is a [noun2].

Note that it must be "every" and not "a". In your case:

   Every DoS is a cyber-attack.

(I assume that the words are in the lexicon. Otherwise, they have to be properly prefixed.)

For your second statement, I don't see a simple pattern. I would state it like this:

   If a DoS successfully attacks a system then not every intended-user of the system can use a 
computer-resource of the system.


Cheers,
Tobias
