Tjalling Gelsema Statistics Netherlands General requirements for the soundness of metadata models
Contents • General requirements Completeness No junk No confusion • The logic of classification structures Leisure activities • Concluding remarks
The logic ofclassification structures • identify synonymous categories • maintain backward compatibility
Adding two categories • Reading & Biking : Economical • Biking & Shopping : Relaxing
But what about these: • Group : synonymous with Outdoor (no confusion) • Piano playing : not backward compatible
Conclusion • Avoid junk (if possible) • Avoid confusion (if possible) • Classification structures are Boolean algebras
