Problems with gist:Room #102
Description
The term specification does not define a "room" in the ordinary sense: e.g., elevators, staircases, hallways, and closets are direct parts of buildings but not rooms in the ordinary sense; and they can all have IDs. Also, a room in the ordinary sense can be a direct part of a wing, where the wing is a direct part of a building. In this case the room is a part of the building but not a direct part. According to the gist definition of Room, the wing is a Room and the room within a wing is not a Room. We could rename the class, but the usefulness of a class that includes elevators, staircases, hallways, wings, and some rooms but not others, is dubious; this is confirmed by the difficulty of finding an accurate name for the class - i.e., it's not a real concept. I suggest modifying the definition of gist:Room to be a semantically and coherent reflection of the concept of "room."
