Concepts (5)

INSTANCE(1)
specific
Description:A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a particular physical thing (as opposed to a universal, kind, or class of physical thing). Discussion: It does not matter whether an INSTANCE still exists as a whole at the point in time (or process) when we mention it, for example, a drug product lot is an INSTANCE even though it has been portioned out for retail purpose.
KIND(2)
described
Description:A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of physical thing (as opposed to a particular thing).
