A concept instance is a piece of data that can be categorised into a concept. For example, if a concept was “country”, “France” and “Germany” would be examples of concept instances belong to the concept “country“.
Dependent on concept type and the rules of a map, concept instances can be created by a knowledge author or created at run-time by end-users.
- For string concepts, a knowledge author can define their own instances or have end users input them
- For number concepts, instances can be any numerical value
- For date concepts, instances can be any valid date
- For boolean (True/False) concepts, instances will be true or false
