semantically precise description and mapping of variables
The I-ADOPT Framework ontology provides machine-readable variable descriptions in which the components are mapped to FAIR vocabulary terms.

A Constraint constrains other components in the Variable description.
A VariableSet has zero or many applicable ContextObjects.
A VariableSet has zero or many applicable Matrices.
A VariableSet has one or more applicable ObjectOfInterest.
A VariableSet has one or more applicable Properties.
A VariableSet has one or more applicable StatisticalModifier.
A Variable has a Constraint, that confines an Entity involved in the observation.
A Variable has an Entity that provides additional background information regarding the ObjectOfInterest.
In a system that represents a fraction, this relation assign the role of the denominator.
A Variable might have an Entity in which the ObjectOfInterest is contained.
In a system that represents a fraction, this relation assign the role of the numerator.
A Variable has an Entity whose Property is observed.
A relation between a system and its part.
A Variable has a Property that characterizes an Entity.
In a system that represents a flux or flow, this relation assign the role of the source of that flux or flow.
A Variable might have a StatisticalModifier that was applied to the observed property.
In a system that represents a flux or flow, this relation assign the role of the target or sink of that flux or flow.
A system of entities where each Entity acts in a specific role and roles are not mutually interchangeable.
A Constraint limits the scope of the observation and confines the context to a particular state. It describes properties of the involved entities that are relevant to the particular observation.
An object or process that has a role in an observation. An Entity may play one of the following roles: ObjectOfInterest, ContextObject, or Matrix. Whether the involvement of a particular entity is meaningful enough to include in the variable description depends on the specific context.
A type of a characteristic of the ObjectOfInterest.
The statistical modifier describes which statistical measure has been applied.
A system of entities where the roles of all entities are mutually interchangeable.
A description of something observed or derived, minimally consisting of an ObjectOfInterest and its Property.
An aggregation class to group a set of variable for a specific purpose.
