The indicator classes are concepts to hold the data and pass them between transformations.
In order to be able to pass data consistently between algorithm, we utilize indicator classes. Indicator class corresponds to thoroughly documented data type.
The full name of the indicator class.
The summary of the indicator class description.
Fill in the short and self-explanatory summary of the indicator class.
The definitions of abbreviations, terms and concepts utilized within the subsequent documentation.
All of the abbreviations, terms and concepts should be explained here.
The inclusion of the indicator class within contexts.
Describe all of the contexts (you may also reference them) in which this indicator class gives sense (may occur).
The human readable general format of the data which form this indicator class (e.g. the number with 2 decimals, date DD-MM-YYY etc.)
Mandatory field - you should describe the data format, so that the human is able to enter it.
Explain the precision of the data which form this indicator class.
Explain - why we selected the precision (why only 1 decimal place, etc.).
The origins of the data (measured, output of machine X etc.) - enter all of them.
If the data are measured, fill in the measurement method in the Measurement section.
If this data can be measured directly, enter the method of measurement.
Describe the measurement method, you may use visual elements on the image.
How to interpret the data.
How to interpret the data - is it simple, or does it need any tools? Does the MediGrid
Unspecified comment - other relevant information.
Enter important objective information about the indicator class if necessary for the understanding. Do not enter your personal comments (use the REVIEW entity instead).
Fill in if there are any limits limiting the use of this indicator class.
For example if these data can not be utilized to evaluate aborigin population, enter it here.
The name of the indicator class displayed by computer.
This name is used e.g. in the construction of the user interface. It should be either name or accepted abbreviation.
The unit of measurement (if applicable)
The unit is displayed behind the input field.
We can define the restriction (such as the restriction element in schema definition).
Using the schema restriction element we can define the enumeration, minimal and maximal value or pattern.
The author (or authors) of indicator class
You may enter multiple authors.

You may define the context, in which the indicator class makes sense.
