         This section specifies the template representing_product_concept.
         
      
      
         NOTE 
         An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is
         provided in the 
         Template overview
         section.
         
      
      
      
               
         This template describes how to represent a product concept and its target market.
               
         NOTE   
            If the target market for the product concept is unknown, the market identification should be assigned the value 'unknown'.
         
             
       
      
      
         The EXPRESS-G diagram in
         Figure 
1
         shows the templates and EXPRESS entities that are required
         to represent the template 
         "representing_product_concept".
         The text highlighted in blue shows the template parameters.

Figure 2 —  The graphical representation of the representing_product_concept template
      
         The following input parameters are defined for this template:
         
      
      
      
      
      
         The name of the class used to classify the product concept identifier (@prod_cpt_id) and to provide the role or reason for
            the identification.
         
       
      
         
            The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
            
         
         
       
      
      
      
      
          The identifier of the 
Organization that "owns" 
                      the product concept identifier. 
         
 
       
      
      
          The name of the class that determines the type of identifier being used for identifying the 
                      
Organization. For example CAGE code. 
         
 
       
      
         
            The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
            
         
         
       
      
      
          The id of the 
External_class_library storing the
                      definition of the class used to classify the organization identifier.
                    
         
 
       
      
      
      
      
         The name of the class used to classify the market identifier (@market_id) and to provide the role or reason for the identification.
       
      
         
            The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
            
         
         
       
      
      
      
      
          The identifier of the 
Organization that "owns" the market identifier. 
         
 
       
      
      
          The name of the class that determines the type of identifier being used for identifying the 
                      
Organization. For example CAGE code. 
         
 
       
      
         
            The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:
            
         
         
       
      
      
          The id of the 
External_class_library storing the
                      definition of the class used to classify the organization identifier.
                    
         
 
       
      
      
         The following reference parameters are defined for this template:
         
      
      
      
         
            Allow the 
            
Product_concept
            entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used. 
            
         
 
         
         %^target = $representing_product_concept.prod_cpt%
         
       
      
      
      
         
            Allow the 
            
Market
            entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used. 
            
         
 
         
            Note: The 
            
Market
            entity can be referenced in a template path by:
            
         
 
         %^target = $representing_product_concept.market%
         
            where 
            
target 
            is the parameter to which the 
            
Market
            is bound.
            
         
 
       
      
      
      
         The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:
         
      
      Unique constraint: Market
       
      Unique constraint: Product_concept
       
      
      
         The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be
         instantiated by the template.
         
      
      
         A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is
         provided in the

         shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:

         The instance model in STEP ASCII exchange file format (ISO 10303 Part

         The following section details how the 
         representing_product_concept
         template can be optionally characterized by assigning
         other constructs to it. These are characterizations commonly
         applied to the template. The ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model may enable
         other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
         
      
      
         The following characterizations may apply:
         
         
Characterization Assigning classifications
         
            
               NOTE   this characterization is optional.
               
            
          
         
         Characterization Assigning descriptions
         
            
               NOTE   this characterization is optional.
               
            
          
         
         Characterization Assigning identifications
