0INSTANCEspecificDescription: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.
1  GROUPspecific groupA 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.
0KINDdescribedDescription:A determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of physical thing (as opposed to a particular thing).
1  GROUPKINDdescribed groupA determiner that specifies that the Entity object represents a universal, kind or class of collections physical things.
