exemplification

Showing by instance

Exemplification is the act of illustrating by example, or an instance that serves as an example: The museum's collection is an exemplification of Renaissance ideals.

In legal contexts, exemplification refers to an official copy of a document, certified under seal as authentic.

To provide exemplification is to make abstract concepts concrete through specific cases.
