ScaleRepresentation

Annotation

A means of capturing the structure of Scale for use as a question response domain or variable value representation. In addition to the basic objects of the representation, the structure defines the dimensions of the scale, an intersect for a multi-dimensional scale, and display layout.

DimensionIntersect

Type:

DimensionIntersectType, complex content

Identifies the point at which the scales of a multidimensional scale intersect.

XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)

<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" ref="DimensionIntersect"/>

DisplayLayout

Type:

CodeValueType, simple content

Defines they layout such as containing a drawn scale line, a list of values only, an outline (the boundaries of the area defined by 2 or more intersecting scales such as a diamond of opposites), or some other layout design. Allows for the use of a controlled vocabulary.

Simple Content

xs:string

XML Source (w/o annotations (1); see within schema source)

<xs:element minOccurs="0" ref="DisplayLayout"/>

ScaleDimension

Type:

ScaleDimensionType, complex content

A description of a dimension of the scale. Note that most scales will have only one dimension.
