Notes:
The knowledge components for a concept (kind) are name, description, and definition (list of property values). A knowledge structure for a concept identifies the relationships among these knowledge components.
This concept knowledge structure attempts to show the following relationships. A concept (kind) is always some subclass of another class (the superordinate class). There must always be at least two kinds or coordinate classes. Each subordinate coordinate class shares a set of properties with the superordinate class. Properties that have different values for two more of the subordinate (coordinate) classes are called discriminating properties. Not all properties are discriminating properties, only those who have different values for different coordinate classes. Class membership in a given coordinate class is determined by the set of values that the discriminating properties assume for members of this class.
