The BFO 2.0 draft specification Section 3.8 gives as an example of a generically dependent continuant "the pdf file on your laptop". It was raised by Steve Wartik that this is confusing as it does not clearly distinguishes from a concretization. It is not clear what "on your laptop" means. Also, "file" has been interpreted by some to hint for harddisk. Examples should be less ambiguous.

Proposal by BP (supporterted on mailing list by AR and MB): Change the example to:

"A pdf file existing in multiple concretizations on your laptop (displayed on screen, stored on the harddisk, stored in RAM memory)."
