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.
