Name Name of a concept, e.g. a data model concept. In contrast to terms, the name does not depend on a given context, e.g. a country-specific language. code
Description Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. The code that identifies the business activity in which the entity is engaged.

For example, 1611 represents the highway and street construction industry in the U.S. SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) system. Note: These are generally external codes created by an external authoritative body, like the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB); however, Dun & Bradstreet may have created extensions to more precisely define an activity, as in the case of the SIC 2+2 (the last 4 digits of an 8-digit SIC).

Example A simple example supporting the understanding of a concept, business rule, etc. 323111
