Detailed Description

Concept is an element of a schema and represent the extent of a piece of knowledge or idea.

Concepts have attributes which define various aspects of the concept. The decision of the type of collection (Array, Set, etc.) is left to the implementation and can assign a collection using the setProperties( CollectionPtr ) method.
