data category specification
set of attributes used to fully describe a given data element concept

NOTE The abbreviation DCS is associated with the Data Category Selection and should not be confused with the data category specification.

ISOcat Experts can create and edit data category specifications.

Currently the icon New DC to create a new data category specification appears on the opening screen of the Web Interface. The suggestion has been made to make it available with respect to various DCS views as well so that people can easily add their own DCs to existing or immediately created DCSs.
