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:
“Women have acquired equal place to man in society, but the double standard has really never been relinquished; certainly not by men. Modern man’s fear of passivity or of the active woman proves to be as eternal as modern woman’s struggle to come to terms with her femininity.”
—Peter Blos (20th century)
