Role, Activity & Instrument

Encodes the conventional role, habitual activity, ability, and instrumental use of entities and agents. These microframes straddle the Telic and Agentive qualia: they describe what entities are used for or what agents characteristically do. The DUL has_role, has_task, and has_parameter properties are the primary targets.
