Attributes
| Name | Type | Multiplicity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| descriptiveText | string | [1] | A short natural language account of the characteristics of the object. |
| definition | string | [1] | Natural language statement conveying the meaning of a concept, differentiating it from other concepts. Supports the use of multiple languages and structured text. 'externalDefinition' can't be used if 'definition' is used. |
| displayLabel | string | [1..*] | A human-readable display label for the object. Supports the use of multiple languages. Repeat for labels with different content, for example, labels with differing length limitations. |
| externalDefinition | Reference | [1] | A reference to an external definition of a concept (that is, a concept which is described outside the content of the DDI-CDI metadata description). An example is a SKOS concept. The definition property is assumed to duplicate the external one referenced if externalDefinition is used. Other corresponding properties are assumed to be included unchanged if used. |
| identifier | Identifier | [1] | Identifier for objects requiring short- or long-lasting referencing and management. |
| name | string | [1..*] | Human understandable name (linguistic signifier, word, phrase, or mnemonic). May follow ISO/IEC 11179-5 naming principles, and have context provided to specify usage. |
