Measure sets
The measures suggested for each analytical requirement are grouped into measure sets. Measures can belong to multiple measure sets to indicate in which analytical requirements they are used.
A measure is a numeric term that is used by information analysts to measure the performance or behavior of the business. A measure can be used in an analytical requirement together with measures that share the same axes of analysis (dimensions).
Measure sets are organized in hierarchies using Is a Type Of or Has Types associations or both and may be viewed using the Term Type Hierarchy view in IGC. There is only one measure set for each analytical requirement but measures may belong to multiple measure sets.
Properties
- Name (mandatory)
- A measure set name is composed of the name of the analytical requirement to which it
belongs suffixed with measures.
- e.g. measure set Campaign contact analysis measures
- e.g. measure set Customer risk analysis measures
- Parent category (mandatory)
- The business category to which the measure set belongs. All measure sets have as parent the
All Analytical Requirements category.
- e.g. measure set Campaign contact analysis measures has parent All Analytical Requirements
- e.g. measure set Customer risk analysis measures has parent All Analytical Requirements
- Short description (mandatory)
- A precise and short description of the measure set.
- e.g. measure set Campaign contact analysis measures has short description Measures for Campaign contact analysis.
- e.g. measure set Customer risk analysis measures has short description Measures for Customer risk analysis.
- Long description (optional)
- A long description of the measure set when the short description is not sufficient to precisely define it.
- Label (mandatory)
- A label that identifies the type of term, the context in which this term is used, or both. All
measure sets are labeled measure set.
- e.g. measure set Campaign contact analysis measures is labeled measure set
- e.g. measure set Customer risk analysis measures is labeled measure set
- Status (mandatory)
-
- Candidate
- A term that is proposed by a project team for consideration.Note: This is the default value for the terms that are delivered in IIW.
- Accepted
- A term that is accepted by a project team and ready to be proposed as a standard at the enterprise level.
- Standard
- A term that is approved by the glossary authoring community and considered as a standard at the enterprise level.
- Deprecated
- A term that is designated as retired, and likely to be replaced by a standard business term.
- Referencing Categories (optional)
- Categories that reference the measure set. Such categories only provide a view on a subset of measure sets and are typically used to define a project scope.
- Associated Terms
- The terms that are associated with this measure set. Measure sets are organized in hierarchies
using Is a Type Of or Has Types associations or both.
- Is A Type Of
- Indicates the parent terms in the term type hierarchy. Measure sets have one parent analytical requirement.
- e.g. measure set Campaign contact analysis measures Is A Type Of analytical requirement Campaign contact analysis
- e.g. measure set Customer risk analysis measures Is A Type Of analytical requirement Customer risk analysis
- Has Types
- Indicates the child terms in the term type hierarchy. Measure sets contain one or more measure terms.
- e.g. measure set Campaign contact analysis measures Has Types Number of inbound contacts
- e.g. measure set Intermediary production analysis measures Has Types Number of lapsed policies
- Created By
- The user ID of the person who creates the term. When a special user ID is used to load the business terms content from IIW, this user ID can be used to distinguish the IIW content from the customized content.
