Conceptual data model are hard to understand especially for business stakehoders.
From my experience, an efficient way to convey the intended usage of a data model to business stakeholders or to developers is to provide examples / instances diagrams, along with the conceptual model and the ontology implementation.

I am concerned that the SEMIC style guide nowhere adresses the question of providing examples, e.g. it is not listed in the artifact types (https://semiceu.github.io/style-guide/public-review/arhitectural-clarifications.html#sec:artefact-types)
UML does offer ways to design instances diagrams, I think.
Were instances diagrams deliberatley left out of scope ?
