A means of capturing a managed representation of a Scale for use by a Response Domain Reference or Value Representation Reference. In addition to the name, label, and description of the representation, the structure defines the dimensions of the scale, an intersect for a multi-dimensional scale, and display layout.
Name | Cardinality | Datatype | Description |
---|---|---|---|
ManagedScaleRepresentationName | 0..n | A name for the ManagedScaleRepresentation. May be expressed in multiple languages. Repeat the element to express names with different content, for example different names for different systems. | |
Label | 0..n | A display label for the representation. May be expressed in multiple languages. Repeat for labels with different content, for example, labels with differing length limitations. | |
Description | 0..1 | A description of the content and purpose of the representation. May be expressed in multiple languages and supports the use of structured content. | |
RecommendedDataType | 0..1 | This field provides the recommended treatment of the data within an application. The value should come from a controlled vocabulary - recommended values include the set found in W3C XML Schema Part 2, but excluding string sub-types, QNAME, and NOTATION. | |
GenericOutputFormat | 0..1 | This field provides a recommended generic treatment of the data for display by an application. The value should come from a controlled vocabulary. | |
DisplayLayout | 0..1 | Defines they layout such as containing a drawn scale line, a list of values only, an outline (the boundaries of the area defined by 2 or more intersecting scales such as a diamond of opposites), or some other layout design. Allows for the use of a controlled vocabulary. | |
classificationLevel | 0..1 | Indicates the type of relationship, nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio, or continuous. Use where appropriate for the representation type. |
Name | Target Object | Description | Source cardinality | Target cardinality | Relationship type |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ScaleDimension | A description of a dimension of the scale. Note that most scales will have only one dimension. | 0..n | |||
DimensionIntersect | Identifies the point at which the scales of a multidimensional scale intersect. | 0..n |
