Contains classes that represent business concepts in the system. Most of the classes will support three kinds of activities:
Variable represents a single type of data that has been
uniformly gathered about each member in the NSHD study. In most cases, a
variable will describe some survey question and its associated results for
each case study member. Each variable is associated with a number of attributes
such as
These ideas are described more thoroughly in the Variable class.
A Variable also has a number of other attributes which are represented as objects of
these classes:
SupportingDocument, which is a document that scientists can
read to find out how results for a variable were determined. For example, a PDF
document called "Ethnicity Definitions" could describe how scientists recorded the
ethnicity of someone from the study.
OntologyTerm, which is a concept that is used to tag a variable
so that the variable can be picked up in a search based on concepts and not by text phrases
that appear in fields of Variable classes.
