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. |
GROUP | specific group | A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a particular collection of physical things (as opposed to a universal, kind, or class of physical thing). While the collection may resolve to having only a single individual (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals. |
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). |
GROUPKIND | described group | A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of collections physical things. While the collection may resolve to having only a single individual (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals. |
QUANTIFIED_KIND | described quantified | The described quantified determiner indicates that the given Entity is taken as a general description of a specific amount of a thing. For example, QUANTIFIED_KIND of syringe (quantity = 3,) stands for exactly three syringes. |
