Universe¶
Fully qualified class name: DDICDIModels::DDICDILibrary::Classes::Conceptual::Universe
Definition¶
Specialized unit type, with the specialization based upon characteristics other than time and geography.
Examples¶
Canadian adults (not limited to those residing in Canada)
Computer companies
Universities
Explanatory notes¶
Universe sits in a hierarchy between unit type and population, with unit type being most general and Population most specific. A universe is a set of entities defined by a more narrow specification than that of an underlying unit type. A population further narrows the specification to a specific time and geography.
If the Universe consists of people, a number of factors may be used in defining membership in the Universe, such as age, sex, residence, income, veteran status, criminal convictions, etc. The universe may consist of elements other than persons, such as housing units, court cases, deaths, countries, etc. A universe may be described as “inclusive” or “exclusive”.
Not to be confused with Population, which includes the specification of time and geography.

Default value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
isInclusive |
- own class - |
Default value is True. The description statement of a universe is generally stated in inclusive terms such as “All persons with university degree”. Occasionally a universe is defined by what it excludes, i.e., “All persons except those with university degree”. In this case the value would be changed to False. |

A short natural language account of the characteristics of the object. |

catalogDetails |
Bundles the information useful for a data catalog entry. Examples would be creator, contributor, title, copyright, embargo, and license information. A set of information useful for attribution, data discovery, and access. This is information that is tied to the identity of the object. If this information changes the version of the associated object changes. |

definition |
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. |
0..1 |

displayLabel |
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. |
0..* |

externalDefinition |
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 for objects requiring short- or long-lasting referencing and management. |

Human understandable name (linguistic signifier, word, phrase, or mnemonic). May follow ISO/IEC 11179-5 naming principles, and have context provided to specify usage. |
