# Concepts

A concept definition is a definition of a set of properties that represent the data fields of an entity.

Concepts are equivalent to UML Classes: they represent class-level information, and at runtime the instances of concepts are called objects.

Concepts can describe relationships among themselves. For example, an `order` concept might have a parent/child relationship with an `item` concept. A `department` concept might be related to a `purchase_requisition` concept based on the shared property, `department_id`.

The concepts can also include a state model. Also, you can create concepts by importing table and view data from databases, and you can update the database definitions using RDBMS functions. These concepts are called database concepts.

Concept properties can be updated by rules and rule functions (including rule functions whose implementation is provided by decision tables).
