Use of ISO Representation Terms
When referencing data from a metadata registry such as ISO/IEC 11179, representation terms such as Indicator (a boolean true/false value), Code (a set of non-overlapping enumerated values) are typically used as dimensions. For example using the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) the data element name would be PersonGenderCode and the enumerated values would be male, female and unknown.

Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
