nodesindividual

Nodesindividual is a term that appears in discussions of graph models and knowledge representations to denote a single node instance within a graph. It is typically used to refer to a concrete element with a unique identity, as opposed to a class or type that describes a category of nodes.

In graph theory and ontology contexts, a node (or vertex) represents an entity, and an “individual” refers to a specific, identifiable instance. The combined expression nodesindividual can function as a label for such an instance, especially in examples, schemas, or code illustrations. The exact meaning of nodesindividual depends on the surrounding context, and it is not part of a universally adopted standard term.

Usage of nodesindividual varies by project. Some datasets, schema definitions, or API payloads may employ nodesindividual as a field name, identifier, or label for a node instance. Because it is not a canonical term, its semantics are inferred from how it is defined within a particular data model or ontology.

In practice, you might encounter an RDF triple where the subject is a URI for a node instance, or a graph database record with an id corresponding to a nodesindividual. Related concepts include node or vertex, individual (in ontology), and general graph or ontology modeling practices.
