CDIF
Definition

CDIF Data Structure profile. Extends the Data Description profile with full DDI-CDI structural complexity: composing cdifDataStructure (DataStructure + Dimensional/Long/Wide variants), cdifDataStructureComponent (component subclasses), cdifRepresentedVariable, and cdifValueDomain. Distributions are expected to carry cdi:isStructuredBy pointing at a Data Structure node.

Scope

Placeholder for the DiscoveryDataDescriptionStructure composite. All concrete classes come from the composed modules (CDIFCore, CDIFDiscovery, CDIFDataDescription, CDIFDataStructure) - this class has no instances.

schema:identifier

Definition

The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of [[Thing]], such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See [background notes](/docs/datamodel.html#identifierBg) for more details.

Scope

Domain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL).

CDIF
Definition

The primary identifier for the dataset; other identifiers should be listed in the sameAs field. Schema.org has three ways of encoding identifiers-- a text description, a URL, or by using the schema:PropertyValue field. The Science on Schema.org guidance strongly recommends using the PropertyValue approach. see https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org .... Dataset.md#identifier. Ideally, for any given data provided they would provide identifiers either all as strings or all as identifier_type.

Scope

Placeholder.
