no, not really, class groups element of the same 'class'

  like: cars, convertibles, trucks, ...
  or even: red trucks, large cars, ...
  or: red ones, large ones, ...

name groups same elements

  like: Ford Mdoell T

id identifies every single element

  like: Ford Modell T number 123

do you know what i mean?
