For example the concept 'colour' can be applied to many different taxonomic descriptors including "petal', 'wing' and 'eye'. Other concept states, for example 'shape' and 'size' can also be applied to the same descriptors. ---++++3.6.1.1 Data modifiers. In SDD all modifiers for probability, frequency ("rarely"), degree ("strongly", "weakly"), timing ("when mature"), location ("at the base"), etc. are centrally managed and may be centrally translated; probability, frequency, and by-misinterpretation modifiers further provide an analytical description. %ATTACHURL%/modifier.jpg ---+++++Example 3.6.1.1.1 - Describing lucid scoring model using the modifiers element.

The dataset metadata typically describes such things as source, ownership, copyright, versioning etc for the dataset. d9 1 a9 1 Two elements are used in SDD for metadata.
