These fit the broader definition of knowledge, the distillation of experience. But they do not require any new instances. Judge Jones and Fort Collins already exist and have a place in our knowledge graph.\r
\r
But some knowledge requires that we synthesize new instances in order to have a place to consolidate the knowledge. A disease isn't a tangible thing, like a person or a building. A disease is a prediction that a person's health will decline in a predictable way (without treatment and with treatment). The number of diseases continues to grow as we collectively learn more and more granular distinctions. Lung cancer used to be a single disease, but now we have dozens of fine-grained distinctions; e.g., non-lymphoma small cell fusiform is different from alveolar adenocarcinoma because we now know the prognosis and treatment are different.\r
\r
This superclass is meant as a place for subclasses that will have the instances that represent the foci of the knowledge we have acquired. Note the distinction between a particular portion of, say, gold, which instantiates gist:PhysicalSubstance, and the concept of gold, which instantiates gist:KnowledgeConcept.\r
\r
In some ontologies what we are calling knowledge concepts are defined as classes; e.g., non-lymphoma small cell fusiform and alveolar adenocarcinoma would be two classes rather than two instances. But using a class makes it harder to connect the concept to other instances in a knowledge graph, and furthermore such classes would lack instances."""^^xsd:string ;
