-<p><dfn id="dfn-complementOf">Complement of</dfn> is a relationship between two characterized entities asserted to have compatible characterization over some continuous time interval.<br/>
+<p><dfn id="VPN-of">VPN of</dfn> is a relationship between two characterized entities asserted to have compatible characterization over some continuous time interval.<br/>
The rationale for introducing this relationship is that in general, at any given time there will be multiple representations of a characterized entity, which are reflected in assertions possibly made by different asserters. In the example that follows, suppose entity "Royal Society" is represented by two asserters, each using a different set of attributes. If the asserters agree that both representations refer to "The Royal Society", the question of whether any correspondence can be established between the two representations arises naturally. This is particularly relevant when (a) the sets of properties used by the two representations overlap partially, or (b) when one set is subsumed by the other. In both these cases, we have a situation where each of the two asserters has a partial view of "The Royal Society", and establishing a correspondence between them on the shared properties is beneficial, as in case (a) each of the two representation <em>complements</em> the other, and in case (b) one of the two (that with the additional properties) complements the other.
