Datum

Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::DataDescription::Datum

Definition

Correspondence of a data instance to the concept it represents.

Examples

A systolic blood pressure of 122 is measured. The single data instance (instance value) for that measurement is the character string “122”. The datum in this case is the association of the conceptual value, i.e. the underlying measured concept (a blood pressure at that level), with the instance value. if a datum represents the conceptual value “married” with a code “M,” it is not the same datum where that conceptual value is represented with a code “1”. If the datum which uses the code “M” is present in more than one data set, it is still the same datum.

Explanatory notes

The datum is a reification of the association between instance value and conceptual value. It is a designation (a representation of a concept by a sign) in the signification pattern. The data instance (instance value) is the signifier and the concept it represents (conceptual value) is the signified. The datum has an association with an instance variable which allows the attachment of a unit of measurement, a datatype, and a population. These instance variable attributes are critical for interpreting the signifier. NOTE: This is NOT datum as defined in The Data Documentation Initiative Lifecycle specification, which is more limited in breadth. This specification takes a little more formal (semiotic) description of a datum using the signification pattern. The datum is reusable, and may appear in more than one data set, carrying with it its full contextualized meaning and identity. The instance variables and instance values with which it is associated will therefore be functionally similar or identical across its appearance in different data instances. Instance variable and instance value are specific to a single data set instance – datum is not.

Datum isBoundedBy InstanceVariable

A datum is bounded by an instance variable. The datum is drawn from a set of values, either substantive or sentinel described by the value domain of the instance variable.

The single data instance (instance value) for that measurement is the character string \"122\". The datum in this case is the association of the conceptual value, i.e. the underlying measured concept (a blood pressure at that level), with the instance value.    \nif a datum represents the conceptual value “married” with a code “M,” it is not the same datum where that conceptual value is represented with a code “1”. If the datum which uses the code “M” is present in more than one data set, it is still the same datum.\n\nExplanatory notes \n=================== \nThe datum is a reification of the association between instance value and conceptual value. It is a designation (a representation of a concept by a sign) in the signification pattern. The data instance (instance value) is the signifier and the concept it represents (conceptual value) is the signified. The datum has an association with an instance variable which allows the attachment of a unit of measurement, a datatype, and a population. These instance variable attributes are critical for interpreting the signifier.  NOTE: This is NOT datum as defined in The Data Documentation Initiative Lifecycle specification, which is more limited in breadth. This specification takes a little more formal (semiotic) description of a datum using the signification pattern.\nThe datum is reusable, and may appear in more than one data set, carrying with it its full contextualized meaning and identity. The instance variables and instance values with which it is associated will therefore be functionally similar or identical across its appearance in different data instances. Instance variable and instance value are specific to a single data set instance – datum is not."@en;
