Class StatisticalClassification

A Statistical Classification is a set of categories which may be assigned to one or more variables registered in statistical surveys or administrative files, and used in the production and dissemination of statistics. The categories at each level of the classification structure must be mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive of all objects/units in the population of interest. The categories are defined with reference to one or more characteristics of a particular population of units of observation. A Statistical Classification may have a flat, linear structure or may be hierarchically structured, such that all categories at lower Levels are sub-categories of categories at the next Level up. Categories in Statistical Classifications are represented in the information model as Classification Items.

Constructors

StatisticalClassification()

Initializes a new instance of the StatisticalClassification class.

Declaration
public StatisticalClassification()

Properties

ChangesFromPreceding

A summary description of the nature and content of changes from the preceding version or update.

Declaration
public MultilingualString ChangesFromPreceding { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
MultilingualString

ContactPerson

Person(s) who may be contacted for additional information about the Statistical Classification.

Declaration
public Collection<Organization> ContactPerson { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Collection<Organization>

Statistical Classifications may have restricted copyrights.

Declaration
public MultilingualString Copyright { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
MultilingualString

DerivedFrom

A Statistical Classification can be derived from one of the classification versions of another Classification Series. The derived Statistical Classification can either inherit the structure of the classification version from which it is derived, usually adding more detail, or use a large part of its Classification Items, rearranging them in a different structure. Indicates the classification version from which the actual Statistical Classification is derived.

Declaration
public StatisticalClassification DerivedFrom { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
StatisticalClassification

Index

A Statistical Classification can be associated with one or a number of Classification Indexes in which Classification Index Entries are linked to the appropriate Classification Item. Include here links to any relevant Classification Indexes.

Declaration
public Collection<ClassificationIndex> Index { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Collection<ClassificationIndex>

IsCurrent

Indicates whether or not the Statistical Classification is currently valid.

Declaration
public bool IsCurrent { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

IsDisseminationAllowed

Indicates whether or not the Statistical Classification may be published or otherwise disseminated (e.g. electronic dissemination).

Declaration
public bool IsDisseminationAllowed { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

IsFloating

Indicates if the Statistical Classification is a floating classification. In a floating statistical classification, a validity period should be defined for all Classification Items which will allow the display of the item structure and content at different points of time.

Declaration
public bool IsFloating { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

IsUpdate

Indicates if the Statistical Classification is a version.

Declaration
public bool IsUpdate { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

IsVersion

Indicates if the Statistical Classification is a version.

Declaration
public bool IsVersion { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

ItemType

Gets the universally unique identifier representing the item's type.

Declaration
public override Guid ItemType { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Guid

The identifier representing the item's type.
Overrides

LegalBase

Indicates that the Statistical Classification is covered by a legal act or by some other formal agreement.

Declaration
public MultilingualString LegalBase { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
MultilingualString

LevelContexts

Level Context provides the depth of a Level within a Statistical Classification together with its membership. Both depth and membership can be specified per Statistical Classification.

Declaration
public Collection<LevelContext> LevelContexts { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Collection<LevelContext>

MaintenanceUnit

The unit or group of persons within the organization who are responsible for the Statistical Classification (i.e, for maintaining, updating and changing it).

Declaration
public Collection<Organization> MaintenanceUnit { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Collection<Organization>

PermissibleUpdates

If Updates are Allowed, Indicate here what structural changes, if any, are permissible within a version. Note whether Classification Items can be added to the structure and whether they can be revalidated or invalidated. Such changes are more likely to be permissible in floating classifications. Also indicate whether changes to such things as Classification Item names and explanatory notes that do not involve structural changes are permissible within a version.

Declaration
public MultilingualString PermissibleUpdates { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
MultilingualString

Predecessor

For those Statistical Classifications that are versions or updates, notes the preceding Statistical Classification of which the actual Statistical Classification is the successor.

Declaration
public StatisticalClassification Predecessor { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
