Element to represent a defined concept.<br /></p><p>A concept in the context of a GeologicVocabulary. A relationship class representing inclusion of an instance of a concept in a GeologicVocabulary. The GeologicConcept instance must have an associated definition (prototype 0..1), which may be text for human interpretation, or a formal description in the form of a geologic entity. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p> * items in the classification framework<br /></p><p> * every GeologicUnit may be classified as being representative of a Controlled Concept. This may be a formal stratigraphic unit from a stratigraphic lexicon, or some generic mappable concept like 'alluvial fan deposit' or 'basaltic rock'.<br /></p><p> * a Controlled Concept instance mayt be associated with one special feature or object, which is the prototype or normative description meant to specify what the concept represents.<br /></p>

«Type» GeologicVocabulary Class |
Name: |
Name: vocabulary A controlled concept belongs to a single vocabulary, since the context constrains the semantics. However, concepts from different vocabularies may have the same localized term as the value of (one of) its labels. |
|
Details:
Specifies the vocabulary that the ControlledConcept belongs to
