<xs:annotation>

<xs:documentation>

This is an abstract structure which serves as a substitution base for current and future LogicalProduct definitions relating to specific data types. Used as an extension base for all other LogicalProducts within its substitution group, it ensures that all DDI LogicalProduct descriptions will contain a consistent means of linking a physical data file to its logical (intellectual) description via the LogicalRecord found in DataRelationship. The extension base includes the standard name, label, and description, coverage information, a structure to define data relationships (identifies each logical record and the relationship(s) between them), as well as OtherMaterial related to its contents.

An NCube is a 1..n dimension structure which relates a set of individual values to each other by defining them within a matrix. The NCube may be the result of aggregations, cross-tabulation, time-series, etc. The NCube is described by its dimensions which are represented by categorical variables (variables with a set number of values of specific definition that can be used to identify a specific cell as part of a matrix address). The resulting cells can contain one or more measures, also defined by variables. In addition to the standard name, label, and description of the NCube, it contains a reference to a universe, defines both the normal source of the data in the cells and unit of analysis, the purpose of creating the structured data, the dimensions and measures, as well as the ability to attached any other attribute (i.e., footnote, cell or region specific note) to a specified area of the NCube. Three attribute serve as informational check values; dimensionCount, cellCount, and isClean.

<xs:annotation>

Case specification allows different unique identifiers to be used based on the value of an identified variable. In some cases the value of a variable (such as a geographic level) results in a different set of variables required to identify a unique case. Case specification is used to capture these combinations. For example: a file containing State, County, and Place records. The unique identifier for a State requires a combination of GeoLevel=State and the variable STATE. Place would require a combination of GeoLevel=Place and the variables STATE and PLACE.

A Statistical Classification has a structure which is composed of one or several Levels. A Level often is associated with a concept, which defines it. In a hierarchical Statistical Classification the Classification Items of each Level but the highest are aggregated to the nearest higher Level. A linear Statistical Classification has only one Level.

A Statistical Classification is a set of categories which may be assigned to one or more variables registered in statistical surveys or administrative files, and used in the production and dissemination of statistics. The categories at each level of the classification structure must be mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive of all objects/units in the population of interest. The categories are defined with reference to one or more characteristics of a particular population of units of observation. A Statistical Classification may have a flat, linear structure or may be hierarchically structured, such that all categories at lower Levels are sub-categories of categories at the next Level up. Categories in Statistical Classifications are represented in the information model as Classification Items.
