Code | Display | Definition |
INSTANCE | 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 | 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). |
