Idea Object

This entity represents the key information of an idea, which includes the name, description, category, and other attributes. If a company manufacturers a bike, one of the ideas targeted at improving the bike could be that the bike needs to be more light weight. An idea need not be tied to a specific existing product. Further examples of ideas could be to start selling our bikes in Asia or to come up with a flying bike to avoid traffic problems, etc.
