Explanatory notes¶
Extends from ConceptualVariable and can contain all descriptive fields without creating a ConceptualVariable. By referencing a ConceptualVariable it can indicate a common relationship with RepresentedVariables expressing the same characteristic of a universe measured in another way, such as Age of Persons in hours rather than years. RepresentedVariable constrains the coverage of the UnitType to a specific Universe. In the above case the Universe with the measurement of Age in hours may be constrained to Persons under 5 days (120 hours old). RepresentedVariable can define sentinel values for multiple storage systems which have the same conceptual domain but specialized value domains.
