data about a living individual, identified or identifiable, as determined by the privacy laws and conventions of a political jurisdiction

set of data grouped together for transmission

registration process to store data definitions, characterized in a consistent manner, as determined according to the provisions of ISO 14817, used for a specific purpose (in this case ITS/TICS)

NOTE The data registration process provides a determination of the ITS Data Dictionary items accepted into the ITS/TICS Data Registry. The Data Registry contains not only data about data concepts in terms of their names and representational forms but also substantial data about the semantics or meaning associated with the data concepts. A Data Registry may contain data that assists information interchange and reuse, both from the perspective of human users and for machine-interpretation of data concepts. The Data Registry is comprised of items only from ITS/TICS Data Dictionaries, showing their source; however, not all ITS/TICS Data Dictionary items shall necessarily be submitted for inclusion, or accepted, into the Data Registry.

some single unit of information of interest (such as a fact, proposition, observation, etc.) about some (entity) class of interest (e.g. a person, place, process, property, concept, association, state, event, etc.) considered to be indivisible in a particular context

description of the organization of data in a manner that reflects an information structure

NOTE See also information model.

acceptable standard of accuracy of personal data

data concept; an expression of the inherent concept embodied in a data element without regard to the value domain(s) by which it can be physically represented.

NOTE A data element concept is represented by an object class and a property of that object class.

meaning, including concept(s), associated with a given data concept

process by which data is formally described and provided to an approved location in the Data Registry

NOTE This process is effected under the control of the ITS/TICS data registrar, in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14817.

limits to the collection of personal data

<XML> create new types (both simple and complex)

any documenting characteristic of a data concept

data type (or type for short) that represents in a formalised way a class of information (for example, numerical, textual, still image or video information); the representation is conformant to definitions given in ISO/IEC 8824-1

definition of the content and structure of data using an ASN.1 type definition

one or more instances of the use of the ASN.1 notation for type, value, value set, information object class, information object, and information object set (as well as the parameterized variant of those), encapsulated using the ASN.1 module notation [ISO/IEC 8824)

atomic constituent of the UML model logical data structure within an XML document, a piece of data within a file [XML]

NOTE An XML element consists of a start tag, and end tag, and the information between the tags, which is often referred to as the contents. Start tags and end tags show the beginning and end of an element. A schema that can provide a description of the structure of the data describes elements used in an XML file.

<XML> processor that reads an XML document and determines the structure and properties of the data

Note 1 to entry: If the parser goes beyond the XML rules for conformance and validates the document against an XML schema, the parser is said to be a “validating” parser. A generalized XML parser reads XML files and generates a hierarchically structured tree, then hands off data to viewers and other applications for processing.

A validating XML parser also checks the XML syntax and reports errors.

really simple syndication comprises a Web feed format used to publish frequently updated sources of information

<XML> set of unique identifiers

NOTE 1 to entry: Namespace is a mechanism to resolve naming conflicts between elements in an XML document when each comes from a different vocabulary. It allows the commingling of like tag names from different namespaces. A namespace identifies an XML vocabulary defined within a URN. An attribute on an element, attribute, or entity reference associates a short name with the URN that defines the namespace; that short name is then used as a prefix to the element, attribute, or entity reference name to uniquely identify the namespace.

Namespace references have scope. All child nodes beneath the node that specifies the namespace inherit that namespace. This allows nonqualified names to use the default namespace.

<XML> identification of element types and structure within a document

NOTE 1 to entry: The mark-up is not actually part of the content, but identifies the components and their roles.

<XML> element delimiter

NOTE 1 to entry: In: <foo>this is a bar</foo> the construct </foo> is the end-tag. End tags cannot include anything other than the element name and trailing space.

<XML> element contained within another element

NOTE 1 to entry: The element containing other elements is a parent element.

instance of some information object class, being composed of a set of fields which conform to field specification of the class; graphical representation that logically organizes various data concepts by depicting key relationships among the data concepts

EXAMPLE An information model might specify that a Vehicle may be described by a variety of properties, such as: Make, Model, Year, and Vehicle Identification Number. Likewise a Collision might be described by properties such as Time of Occurrence, Severity, and Number of Vehicles Involved. Finally, the model might depict that a Collision has a many-to-many relationship to a Vehicle.

NOTE Information models can be depicted using UML Class Diagrams.

set of fields, forming a template for the definition of a potentially unbounded collection of information objects, the instances of the class

simple type whose values are the set of all object identifiers allocated in accordance with the rules of the ISO/IEC 9834 series

association where the target class is an aggregate; therefore the source class is a part

NOTE 1 to entry This characteristic is expressed in UML with an attribute named “aggregation” on the target side Association End being set to “aggregate”

<UML> endpoint of an association, which connects the association to a classifier

dependency states that the implementation or functioning of one or more elements requires the presence of one or more other elements

element of the run-time extension of an Enumeration data type

NOTE It has no relevant substructure, that is, it is atomic. The enumeration literals of a particular Enumeration data type are ordered.

IRI compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource

protocol for transmitting private information via the Internet by using public and private keys to encrypt data

inter ORB protocol that allows ORBs to use the Internet as a communications bus by mapping inter ORB messages onto TCP/IP

NOTE This is an implementation of GIOP.

<XML> element, group, attribute, attribute group, or data types that are not global

<UML> general purpose mechanism for organizing elements into groups

NOTE 1 to entry: Packages may be nested within other packages.

process by which personal information (PI) is irreversibly altered in such a way that an Individual or a legal entity can no longer be identified directly or indirectly either by the controller alone or in collaboration with any other party

transfer of PI from the controller to a processor in the context of a commissioned work

any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others collect and/or process and determine the purposes and means of the processing of PI, independently whether or not a person uses the PI by themselves or assigns the tasks to a processor; where the purposes and means of processing are determined by national or Community laws or regulations, the controller or the specific criteria for his nomination may be designated by national or Community law

establishes the link between a data subject and its PI or a set of PI

any data or information related to an individual or legal entity or an association of person or individuals by which the individual or legal entity or association of persons could be identified

NOTE 1 to entry: The EU-Dir 95/48/EC names in its Art 2 lit. (a) the personal information as “personal data” and defines it as: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity”.
