Frequently, and in some cases, the term is quite technical["jargon"];
in others, it is a handy generalization. Military persons, for
example, speak of an "operations concept" that is a fairly
significant portion of a military plan has specific parts; plays a
particular role; is distinct from other operations concepts and is
expected to - and often does - create some pretty concrete effects.
Engineering persons speak of system concepts to describe a
significant portion of system requirements and use it to - eventually
- build reliable artifacts. Down the road from, in Hollywood, people
buy and sell concepts. Etc., etc. If one were to create an ontology
for any of these domains, those people would almost certainly think
some important things were missing...
