The DANTERM Model

Part of the ontology for disease prevention in CAOS

Dimension specification: Association of a dimension with its possible values

Feature specification: Attribute + value

Concept

Relation (type of)

Dimension (Subdivision criterion)

Data categories related to terminological ontologies - registered in ISOcat

Data category

Definition

feature specification

formal specification of a characteristic of a concept by means of an attribute-value pair

attribute in a feature specification

part of a feature specification which specifies the feature name

value in a feature specification

part of a feature specification which specifies the content of an attribute

dimension

attribute whose possible values allow a distinction between some of the subconcepts of the concept in question

dimension specification

the association of a dimension with its possible values

The structure recommended to ISO TC 37

We strongly recommend that this new structure is integrated in future revisions of TBX (ISO 30042:2008) and new versions of ISO standards on terminology databases.

The revised DANTERM model - Characteristics

Values of attributes will be concepts in separate entries in the term base.

Revisiting associative relations All associative relations will be registered as characteristics. The attribute corresponds to the relation, and the value is the related concept, i.e. the value will be another concept in the term base.
