Boxes with dashed borders contain brief guidance text
for completing the entries for new variables.

Scope

Question

The scope may be expressed as an (unambiguous) research question
and is defined according to the purpose of the assessment(s) where the variable is used.

Boundaries

If the (spatial, temporal, or other) boundaries of the variable differ from
those for the whole assessment, the boundaries should be specified here.

Definition

Data

Description of the data used for obtaining the value of the variable
(e.g. measurement data; mathematical method and its parameters). 
Please include references (preferably using the <ref></ref> tags) and links to original data, as appropriate.

Causality

List of upstream variables.
The variables can be listed used descriptive (free-format) names or unambiguous identifiers
(e.g. IDs).

Unit

Unit in which the result is expressed.

Formula

Algebra or other explicit methods if possible
(e.g. code between the <anacode></anacode> delimiters).

Result

If possible, a numerical expression or distribution.

See also

Links to relevant information that does not belong to Definition.

References

Will appear here automatically, if cited above using the <ref></ref> tags.
Additional references can also be listed here.
