Representation types
To describe the concrete elements attached to a concept, HOPEX Information Architecture offers the possibility to link a concept to representation types.
For example, a person is associated with a mandatory and unique postal address, possibly an email address and one or more telephone numbers.
With HOPEX Information Architecture, the link between a concept and a representation type is described by a Concept representation that can, if necessary, be associated with a term.
A representation type component enables specification of the relationship between two representation types.
A concept representation is used to specify the relationship between a concept and a representation type.
