Data Category Selection
DCS

set of data categories selected from the DCR

Note 1 A DCS can represent the data categories used within a thematic domain or a selection of data categories used for a specific application or project. In the latter case, the DCS may draw data categories from more than one thematic domain.

Note 2 A DCS can be expressed as a simple list of data categories, or it can be output in a form that contains the entire content of their associated data category specifications, thus incorporating the full set of constraints associated with the DCS. It can also be expressed using a schema notation such as XML schema or Relax NG, which also comprises the list of data categories together with their associated constraints.
