Figure 25 illustrates a range of expressions based on each of the concepts defined in might be used to<br />

represent the concept "red steel pedal bike".<br />

Expression K is a pre-coordinated expression using the concept "10 | red steel bike| ". Each of the other forms<br />

is post-coordinated by adding refinements that build on the concept definitions shown in Table 14.<br />

These expressions would all be equivalent if the definitions were complete and accurate. In that case, it would<br />

possible to transform between them without losing information by appropriately adjusting the associated<br />

refinements to take account of the concept definitions. In practice the concept "bicycle" is marked as primitive<br />

which places a limit on transformation process.<br />
