ISO 12620 data categories sections 06 and 07

07.01 concept system: This is not used separately, but rather in conjuction with a concept position in datcat 7.2. The concept system becomes a refObject that is pointed to. See A.07.02 07.02 concept position Description: The position of a concept in a concept system. DXLT Representation A.07.02: <descrip type='conceptPosition' target='Y'>...</descrip>, where Y is the refid of a <refObject type='conceptSysDescrip'> Note 1: This is the same format as A.04.02, but a concept system is usually more restricted than a classification system; a concept system may be a detailed analysis of the concepts in one subject field or identifier in a classification system. Note 2: Types of concept position (content) can include: DXLT Representation 07.02.01 broader concept partitive 07.02.02 superordinate concept generic superordinate concept partitive 07.02.03 subordinate concept generic subordinate concept partitive 07.02.04 coordinate concept generic coordinate concept partitive 07.02.05 related concept The second format is for when there is not a formal concept system: 07.02.01 broader concept generic/partitive Description: A concept two or more levels of abstraction higher than subject concept in a hierarchical concept system. Note: Broader concepts can occur in either a generic or a partitive concept system. DXLT representation <descrip type ='broaderConceptGeneric' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> <descrip type='conceptPosition' target='conceptSysDescrip-idref'>position-code</descrip> 07.02.02 superordinate concept generic/partitive Description: A concept in a hierarchical system that can be subdivided into a number of lower-ranking concepts. Note 1: For definition of related term, see ISO 1087:1990, 3.1.2 Note 2: In generic concept systems, a superordinate concept constitutes the concept itself, whereas the common linguistic term "hyperonym" references the term that represents the concept. Superordinate concepts in partitive systems can also be called comprehensive concepts. DXLT representation <descrip type ='superordinateConceptGeneric' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> <descrip type ='superordinateConceptPartitive' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> 07.02.03 subordinate concept generic/partitive Description: A concept in a hierarchical system that can be grouped together with at least one more concept of the same level to form a higher ranking concept. Note 1: For definition of related term, see ISO 1087:1990, 3.1.3 Note 2: "Subordinate concept" emphasizes the concept itself, whereas the common linguistic term "hyponym" references the term that represents the concept. Subordinate concepts in generic systems can be called specific concepts. In partitive concept systems, subordinate concepts can be called partitive concepts. Note 3: The subordinate concept data category must be hierarchically iterative in order to account for deeper levels of abstraction. In Annex C, Figure C.6, for instance, if the bones of the wrist were viewed as divided into separate regions, an additional level of abstraction would be introduced into the system requiring a deeper level of subordination. 07.02.04 coordinate concept generic/partitive Description: A concept in a hierarchical system that ranks at the same level as one or more other concepts. Note 1: For definition of related term, see ISO 1087:1990, 3.1.4 Note 2: Coordinate concept designates the concept itself, whereas the common linguistic term co-hyponym references the term that represents the concept. DXLT representation <descrip type ='subordinateConceptGeneric' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> <descrip type ='subordinateConceptPartitive' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> 07.02.05 related concept Description: A concept that has an associative relation to another concept. Example: "Teacher" and "school" are related concepts. DXLT representation <descrip type ='relatedConcept' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> 07.02.05.01 related broader concept Description:IATE datcat yet to be defined Example: DXLT representation 07.02.05.02 related narrow concept Description:IATE datcat yet to be defined Example: DXLT representation 07.02.06 sequentially related concept Description: A relation of dependence between concepts referring to objects that have a spatial or termporal contiguity. Example: cause-effect; producer-product; steps in a process Note 1: Types of sequential relation can include temporal relation and spatial relation. Note2: By virtue of the law of relativity, it can be difficult in some cases to distinguish between spatial and termporal components. For instance, assembly line workstations can be viewed as being in spatial or termporal relation with one another. DXLT representation <descrip type ='sequentiallyRelatedConcept' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> 07.02.07 temporally related concept Description: A relation of dependence between concepts referring to objects that have temporal contiguity. Example: cause and effect; producer-product; steps in a process DXLT representation <descrip type ='temporallyRelatedConcept' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> 07.02.08 spatially related concept Description: A relation of dependence between concepts referring to objects based on their relative position in space. Example: right and left sides of the human body; features on the globe. DXLT representation <descrip type ='spatiallyRelatedConcept' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip> 07.02.09 associated concept Description: A relation between concepts that can be established on the basis of thematic connections. Note: For definition of related term, see ISO 1087:1990, 3.7.2.2. Example: teacher : school; automobile : highway DXLT representation <descrip type ='associatedConcept' target='entryId'>basicText<descrip>
