Bloggs Family

( n.)

   An  imaginary  family  consisting  of  Fred and Mary Bloggs and their
   children.  Used  as a standard example in knowledge representation to
   show  the difference between extensional and intensional objects. For
   example, every occurrence of "Fred Bloggs" is the same unique person,
   whereas  occurrences  of  "person"  may  refer  to  different people.
   Members  of  the  Bloggs  family have been known to pop up in bizarre
   places  such  as the old {DEC} Telephone Directory. Compare {Dr. Fred
   Mbogo}; {J. Random Hacker}; {Fred Foobar}.
