Definition

A characteristic is a distinguishing feature of an object. [1]

Generic relations

  • Feature

Subordinate concepts

A

Subordinate concepts are:

  • Physical characteristics (e.g. mechanical, electrical, chemical or biological characteristics);
  • Sensory characteristics (e.g. related to smell, touch, taste, sight, hearing);
  • Behavioural characteristics (e.g. courtesy, honesty, veracity);
  • Temporal characteristics (e.g. punctuality, reliability, availability, continuity);
  • Ergonomic characteristics (e.g. physiological characteristic, or related to human safety);
  • Functional characteristics (e.g. maximum speed of an car).

B

Subordinate concepts are:

C

Subordinate concepts are:

  • Inherent characteristics (e.g., accuracy)
  • Assigned characteristic (e.g., price)

Associative relations

Associative relations are:

  • A characteristic is always associated with an object.
  • A combination of a characteristic and an object is a focus area. For example the accuracy (characteristic) of data (object).
