ConceptMap

Superclass hierarchy

Definition

Correspondence between concepts in a correspondence table related to one or more Statistical Classifications.

Examples

A simple example might map the following 2 martial status category sets:

MS1: single, married, widowed, divorced.

MS2: single, married.

So, a correspondence table between these 2 category sets might look like this: MS1 single - MS2 single; MS1 widowed - MS2 single; MS1 divorced - MS2 single; MS1 married - MS2 married

Explanatory notes

A Map is the pairing of similar Concepts. Each Concept in the Map belongs to a different Collection. The collection of maps for all the Concepts in corresponding Collections is a Correspondence Table.
