Scope note
- This concept classifies physical substances that are constituents of material objects or are used in their construction, but whose individual substance is not a factor in the objects’ function (e.g. gold, water, bricks, etc.) The term may include pure raw materials, processed or unprocessed, and also materials that have been modelled and are incorporated into objects. Their main attribute is that they cannot be individualized, that is, they cannot be distinct “units” with clear and distinct boundaries or roles in respect to other units of the same or different kind.
Example
- Narrower term examples: “organic matter”, “fiber”, “construction materials”.
