Such nanopublications define a new named individual. Such a named individual represets a single concrete or abstract thing that is in some way relevant. Examples are the planet Mars, Marie Curie, or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Such individuals do not represent sets of things, like humans, diseases, or ideas. Such concepts representing sets should be defined with the template for classes.
