Annotation
An abstract element serving as the head of a substitution group. May be substituted by any valid object of substitution type ValueRepresentation. Includes a set of elements available to members of the substitution group using this as an extension base; recommended data type, generic output format, the classification level (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio, or continuous, and a declaration of an offset date for the data content.

Attribute Detail (all declarations; defined within this component only; 1/1)
classificationLevel
Type:
Use:
optional
Indicates the type of relationship, nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio, or continuous. Use where appropriate for the representation type.
Attribute Value
enumeration of xs:NMTOKEN
Enumeration:
"Nominal"
 - 
A relationship of less than, or greater than, cannot be established among the included categories. This type of relationship is also called categorical or discrete.
"Ordinal"
 - 
The categories in the domain have a rank order.
"Interval"
 - 
The categories in the domain are in rank order and have a consistent interval between each category so that differences between arbitrary pairs of measurements can be meaningfully compared.
"Ratio"
 - 
The categories have all the features of interval measurement and also have meaningful ratios between arbitrary pairs of numbers.
"Continuous"
 - 
May be used to identify both interval and ratio classification levels, when more precise information is not available.

ContentDateOffset
Type:
ContentDateOffsetType, empty content
Identifies the difference between the date applied to the data as a whole and this specific item such as previous year's income or residence 5 years ago.

GenericOutputFormat
Type:
CodeValueType, simple content
This field provides a recommended generic treatment of the data for display by an application. The value should come from a controlled vocabulary.

RecommendedDataType
Type:
CodeValueType, simple content
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.
