An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An enumerative definition of a concept or term is a special type of extensional definition that gives an explicit and exhaustive listing of all the objects that fall under the concept or term in question.

An example of an enumerative definition for the set extant monotreme species (for which the intensional definition is species of currently-living mammals that lay eggs) would be
