Aristotle’s first system of classification is of beings, (τὰ ὄντα) (1a20). The division proceeds by way of two concepts: (1) said-of and (2) present-in. Any being, according to Aristotle, is either said-of another or is not said-of another. Likewise, any being is either present-in another or is not present-in another. (English) (English)
Aristotle explicitly accepts a doctrine of meaning according to which words conventionally signify concepts, and concepts naturally signify objects in the world (De Int 16a3) (English)

The question of being (Greek, τό ὄν, the present participle of the verb ειναι, "to be"; Latin, esse; German, Sein; French, être), in philosophy, has been a central topic of metaphysics; the study of "being" is called ontology.[1]Philosophers often suppose a certain sense of being as primary, and from it derive other senses of being as secondary. So, even if they use the same word "is," the meaning of being is different, depending upon what it is that "is": sensible material beings, values and norms, principles, mathematical objects, quality, time, space, God, etc. For Plato the primary kind of being is the immutable world of ideas, while for Aristotle it is the mutable world of substances. (English)

This two place relation captures the notion of membership in a set. In general, the domain (attribuend) will be filled by an object. The range (attribute) will be filled by a quality or by an object. Finer restrictions can be made based on the given attribute. This relation is typically expressed by the verb `be'. (English)
