In metadata , a dataelementdefinition is a human readable phrase or sentence associated with a dataelement within a data dictionary that describes the meaning or semantics of a dataelement.

In a formal data dictionary, there is often a requirement that no two data elements may have the same name, to allow the dataelement name to become an identifier, though some data dictionaries may provide ways to qualify the name in some way, for example by the application system or other context in which it occurs. In a database driven data dictionary, the fully qualified dataelement name may become the primary key, or an alternate key, of a Data Elements table of the data dictionary. The dataelement name typically conforms to ISO IEC 11179 metadata registry naming conventions and has at least three parts Object, Property and Representation term .

Other uses Definition disambiguation Unreferenced date October 2009 In mathematics , well definition is a mathematical or logical definition of a certain concept or object a function mathematics function , a property philosophy property , a relation mathematics relation , etc. which uses a set of base axiom s in an entirely unambiguous way and satisfies the properties it is required to satisfy. Usually definitions are stated unambiguously, and it is clear they satisfy the required properties. Sometimes however, it is economical to state a definition in terms of an arbitrary choice one then has to check that the definition is independent of that choice. On other occasions, the required properties might not all be obvious one then has to verify them. These issues commonly arise in the definition of functions. For instance, in group theory , the term well defined is often used when dealing with coset s, where a function on a coset space is often defined by choosing a representative it is then just as important that we get the same result regardless of which representative of the coset we choose. As an example, take the definition f x sub 1 sub f x sub 2 sub if x sub 1 sub x sub 2 sub then the definition ... function .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The lexical definition of a term, also known as the dictionary definition, is the Meaning linguistic meaning of the term in common usage. As its other name implies, this is the sort of definition one is likely to find in the dictionary. A lexical definition is usually the type expected from a request for definition, and it is generally expected that such a definition will be stated as simply as possible in order to convey information to the widest audience. Note that a lexical definition is descriptive , reporting actual usage within speakers of a language , and changes with changing usage of the term, rather than prescriptive , which would be to stick with a version regarded as correct regardless of drift in accepted meaning. They tend to be inclusive, attempting to capture everything the term is used to refer to, and as such are often too vague for many purposes. When the breadth or vagueness of a lexical definition is unacceptable, a precising definition or a stipulative definition is often used. Words can be classified as lexical or nonlexical.

In compiler theory , a reaching definition for a given instruction is another instruction, the target variable of which may reach the given instruction without an intervening assignment. For example, in the following code d1 y 3 d2 x y code d1 code is a reaching definition at code d2 code . In the following, example, however d1 y 3 d2 y 4 d3 x y code d1 code is no longer a reaching definition at code d3 code , because code d2 code kills its reach. As analysis The similarly named reaching definitions is a data flow analysis which statically determines which definitions may reach a given point in the code. Because of its simplicity, it is often used as the canonical example of a data flow analysis in textbooks. The data flow confluence operator used is set union, and the analysis is forward flow. Reaching definitions are used to compute use def chain s and def use chain s. The data flow equations used for a given basic block math S math in reaching definitions are math rm REACH rm in S bigcup p in pred S rm REACH rm out p math math rm REACH rm out S rm GEN S cup rm REACH rm in S rm KILL S math In other words, the set of reaching definitions going into math S math are all of the reaching definitions from math S math s predecessors, math pred S math . math pred S math consists of all of the basic blocks that come before math S math in the control flow graph .

Unreferenced date December 2009 An extensional definition of a concept or term formulates its meaning by specifying its extension semantics extension , that is, every object philosophy object that falls under the definition of the concept or term in question. For example, an extensional definition of the term nation of the world might be given by listing all of the nations of the world, or by giving some other means of recognizing the members of the corresponding class. An explicit listing of the extension, which is only possible for finite sets and only practical for relatively small sets, is a type of enumerative definition . Extensional definitions are used when listing examples would give more applicable information than other types of definition , and where listing the members of a set mathematics set tells the questioner enough about the nature of that set. This is similar to an ostensive definition , in which one or more members of a set but not necessarily all are pointed out as examples. The opposite approach is the intensional definition , which defines by listing properties that a thing must have in order to be part of the set captured by the definition.
