A characteristic is a distinguishing feature of an object. [1]
Generic relations
Superordinate concept in the generic relation is:
- 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:
- Qualitative characteristics (e.g., clarity)
- Quantitative characteristics (e.g., length)
C
Subordinate concepts are:
- Inherent characteristics (e.g., accuracy)
- Assigned characteristic (e.g., price)

Associative relations
- 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).
