Universe¶
Describes a universe which may also be known as a population. A Universe describes the “object” of a Data Element Concept or Data Element as defined by ISO/IEC 11179. A universe may be organized into hierarchical sub-universes. In addition to the standard name, label, and description, the universe may provide a generation code (how the universe is differentiated or split out from another universe), a definition of hierarchical sub-settings for the universe, and an attribute that indicates if the description of the universe is stated in terms of what the universe includes.
