On this system it is possible to define "concepts". We use concept in the sense of SKOS "as an idea or notion; a unit of thought." It is possible to describe concepts with additional skos properties, but it is not necessary to start with that. For example, it is possible to define whether a concept is a class or a property.
Individual concepts can be grouped by two methods:
- If the concepts are carefully reviewed and published in a versioned and authored standard, they can be assigned to a "scheme".
- For all other groupings of concepts "concepts collections" are available. For example, if a standard lists some concepts as "core", others as "extensions", or if the concepts are grouped under subheadings, these are typically expressed as concept collections.
