Annotation
A Universe contextualizes a Unit Type by providing additional restriction characteristics. The class Universe covers both the GSIM 1.2 obects of Universe and Population, conflating them into a single class. A universe may be organized into hierarchical sub-universes. In addition to the standard name, label, and description, the universe may provide a generation code (how the universe is differentiated or split out from another universe), a definition of hierarchical sub-settings for the universe, and an attribute that indicates if the description of the universe is stated in terms of what the universe includes. DDI Lifecycle does not have a Population class as found in GSIM 1.2. It extends the definition of a Universe to include specification of time and geography in contextualizing a Unit Type. In GSIM 1.2 a Universe is a defined class of people, entities, events, or objects with no specification of time and geography, contextualizing a Unit Type. A Population refines a Universe by specifying time and/or geography.

Attribute Detail (all declarations; defined within this component only; 1/8)
isInclusive-
Type: |
xs:boolean, predefined |
Use: |
optional |
The default value is "true". The description statement of a universe is generally stated in inclusive terms such as "All persons residing in Europe". Occasionally a universe is defined by what it excludes, i.e., "All persons residing in Europe except for those residing on U.S. Military bases". In this case the value would be changed to "false".

-
A description of the content and purpose of the Universe. Supports multiple language versions of the same content as well as optional formatting of the content.
XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)
-
A concept that defines or aids in understanding the content of the universe. For example the Universe "Males" may link to the concept of "Male".
