This common relation is widely expressed with the massively overloaded (and to-be-deprecated) of (P642), and sometimes (erroneously) with applies to part, aspect, or form (P518), facet of (P1269), part of (P361), and possibly a few other properties. Although it is semantically an inverse of has characteristic (P1552), constraining this property to the qualifier scope will prevent introduction of redundant inverses of has characteristic (P1552) statements.
