ConceptualVariable¶
Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::Conceptual::ConceptualVariable
Definition¶
A variable at the highest level of abstraction.
Examples¶
A gender variable defining two categories – “male” and “female” allowing relating each of these to concepts having description of how these categories are decided.
Explanatory notes¶
The conceptual variable allows for describing the domain of concepts it can take on as well as the type of unit that can be measured. A conceptual variable for blood pressure might, for example describe the conditions under which the pressure is to be taken (sitting as opposed to standing) and a conceptual value domain as height of mercury – without units. One represented variable would further refine this by specifying inches as the unit of measurement for the height. Another might specify that the height be represented in centimeters. Both represented variables could reference the same conceptual variable to indicate in what way they are comparable.

- own class - |
Kind of unit of measure, so that it may be prone to translation to equivalent UOMs. Example values include “acceleration,” “temperature,” “salinity”, etc. This description exists at the conceptual level, indicating a limitation on the type of representations which may be used for the variable as it is made more concrete. |

catalogDetails |
Bundles the information useful for a data catalog entry. Examples would be creator, contributor, title, copyright, embargo, and license information. A set of information useful for attribution, data discovery, and access. This is information that is tied to the identity of the object. If this information changes the version of the associated object changes. |

definition |
Natural language statement conveying the meaning of a concept, differentiating it from other concepts. Supports the use of multiple languages and structured text. ‘externalDefinition’ can’t be used if ‘definition’ is used. |

displayLabel |
A human-readable display label for the object. Supports the use of multiple languages. Repeat for labels with different content, for example, labels with differing length limitations. |

externalDefinition |
A reference to an external definition of a concept (that is, a concept which is described outside the content of the DDI-CDI metadata description). An example is a SKOS concept. The definition property is assumed to duplicate the external one referenced if externalDefinition is used. Other corresponding properties are assumed to be included unchanged if used. |
