The domain and range of object property 'specifically depends on at some time' are set as:
domain: process or 'specifically dependent continuant'
range: process or 'specifically dependent continuant' or ('independent continuant' and (not ('spatial region')))
It excludes 'generically dependent continuant'.

Although the domain and range of its subProperty 'has participant at some time' set as:
domain: process
range: continuant and (not ('spatial region')), it causes inconsistent if 'generically dependent continuant' is used as its range.

In IAO and OBI, 'information content entity' (a subclass of GDC) is widely used as participants of a process. When switch to BFO2 (replaced BFO 1.1:'has participant' by BFO 2.0: 'has participant at some time'), it caused classify unsatisfied issue.

How can we deal with this issue?

Another question, not so clear how role/quality participate a process, any example?

Thanks!
