A means of capturing the structure of Scale for use as a question response domain or variable value representation. In addition to the basic objects 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 |
---|---|---|---|
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. |
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 |
