Dear Matthew,
Seems to me that the thing drawn "is a" component of the drawing, not of the 
distillation column. The thing drawn represents/signifies a part of the 
distillation column for which the interpretant is either a list of the 
properties and characteristics of 'the' pump or a physical instance. 
Aha! Multiple inheritance. How shall an ontology indicate multiple 
interpretants and the conditions for which path to take?    (01)
