object noun type

The object noun type is the noun type of the object noun of a statement.

 

For example, in the statement:

person: Kent Ortiz <knows how to use> software package: Adobe Photoshop

the noun "software package: Adobe Photoshop" is the object noun of the statement.

The noun type of the object noun ("software package: Adobe Photoshop") is software package.

 

NOTE: A noun may the object noun in one statement, and the subject noun in another statement.

 

For example, in the statement:

software package: Adobe Photoshop <is of type> software package type: image editing

the noun "software package: Adobe Photoshop" is the subject noun of the statement.

 

So whether a noun is a subject noun or an object noun depends on its position in a specific statement.  Being a subject or an object is not attribute of the noun itself.
