Definition
Collection of dimensions that can be reused across multiple dimensional structures.
Examples
Sex, Province and Marital Status is a common set of dimensions used across a variety of dimensional data structures and might need to be maintained separately.
CDIF

Attributes
| Name | Type | Multiplicity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| identifier | XsdAnyUri | [0..1] | DocumentationOriginalReferenceschema:identifier DefinitionThe 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. ScopeDomain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: PropertyValue (https://schema.org/PropertyValue), Text (https://schema.org/Text), URL (https://schema.org/URL). CDIFDefinitionThe 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@id - resolvable URI for the dimension group. |
| name | string | [1..*] | DocumentationOriginalReferenceschema:name DefinitionThe name of the item. ScopeDomain: Thing (https://schema.org/Thing). Range: Text (https://schema.org/Text). CDIFDefinitionA descriptive name of a dataset (e.g., 'Snow depth in Northern Hemisphere'). The name should uniquely identify the described resource for human use, in the scope of the metadata catalog containing this metadata record. Scopecdif:name - human-readable name for the dimension group (ISO/IEC 11179-5). |
