Fields | Description
Algorithm | An expression that is used to compute a characteristic by means of other variables or fixed characteristics.
Variable | A code that holds the value of a aspect or characteristic. This value will be used in the expression of an algorithm to calculate the value of another aspect or characteristic.
Aspect | A part of an item. For example, a bolt can have the aspects head and tail. An aspect can have one or more characteristics. For example, a head can have a diameter and a length, and a tail can have a diameter and a color.
Characteristic | A reference to a particular quality or distinctive mark of an item or an item part/component. For example, diameter, length, weight.
