VariableCollection

Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::Conceptual::VariableCollection

Definition

Group of any type of variable within the variable cascade (conceptual, represented, instance).

Examples

  1. Variables within a specific section of a study

  2. Variables related to a specific subject or keyword

  3. Variables at a specified level of development or review

Explanatory notes

A simple ordered or unordered list of variables can be described via a set of variable position parameters. An optional variable structure can describe a more complex structure for the collection. We might, for example, use the variable structure to group variables by content within a single collection of data or a wave of on-going data collection. For the purposes of management, conceptualization or anything other than organizing a logical record or physical layout.

Default value

allowsDuplicates

- own class -

If value is False, the members are unique within the collection - if True, there may be duplicates. (Note that a mathematical “bag” permits duplicates and is unordered - a “set” does not have duplicates and may be ordered.)

Boolean

1..1

displayLabel

- own class -

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.

LabelForDisplay

groupingSemantic

- own class -

A semantic term defining the factor used for defining this group.

ControlledVocabularyEntry

identifier

- own class -

Identifier for objects requiring short- or long-lasting referencing and management.

  8          Group of any type of variable within the variable cascade (conceptual, represented, instance).
  9          
 10          Examples
 11          ========
 12          1. Variables within a specific section of a study
 13          2. Variables related to a specific subject or keyword
 14          3. Variables at a specified level of development or review
 15          
 16          Explanatory notes
 17          ================= 
 18          A simple ordered or unordered list of variables can be described via a set of variable position parameters. An optional variable structure can describe a more complex structure for the collection. We might, for example, use the variable structure to group variables by content within a single collection of data or a wave of on-going data collection. For the purposes of management, conceptualization or anything other than organizing a logical record or physical layout.</xs:documentation>
