Concepts

Concepts represent, alongside Action types, another generic entity type, which holds the data semantically together. Concepts are lemma-meaning units. That is, for any distinct lemma and meaning, you create a new Concept. This proliferation of Concepts is made manageable through various Relations, such as synonym, superclass (~ hypernym, genus proximum) etc., which place any Concept in a robust web of semantic relations.

One major function of Concepts is to serve as Property Type in Properties, which is a flexible yet reliable way of creating connections between entities.
