It is a reference to the "Abstract" concept in object oriented programming (OOP). It means a super-type of object that provides some shared parameters across "concrete" (non-abstract) implementations.
The most common example being "Investment" as an abstract obejct.
You cannot create JUST an Investment, because it is abstract.
You must instead create a Project or NPIO (Asset, Application, Idea, etc.), and along with their properties that are unique to each concrete type, they are all a "kind of" Investment and have an entry in the inv_investments table with a range of properties or attributes that are common to them all.
