Evaluation Domains/List of Evaluation Domains
The purpose here is to create a Data Structure
- Encapsulation - when common patterns are grouped together under a single name and then parameterized, in order to achieve a higher-level understanding of that pattern.
- For example an operation requires two source values and writes the product of those two values to a given destination. The operation is parameterized by both the two sources and the single destination.
- Abstraction- a mechanism to hide the implementation details of an abstraction away from the users of the abstraction.
- For example, when we multiply numbers, we don't necessarily want to see the technique actually used by the processor, we just need to know its properties." [1]
- node a container for a value that also has a pointer to the "next" node (which could be "null"
- Value
- Next
- Chain - A string of nodes
The technique used in obtaining some data from other data would be part of the metadata ("Data about data") for a given.
First, we can think of spreadsheets. However, imagine that you can right-click on any given spreadsheet cell, and see links to more cells and algorithms and sheets
We start with three sections:
- Disciplines
- Approaches
- Evaluands
Within those, we have
- Sub-Disciplines
- Categories of Evaluative Process
- Perceptual / Intuitive (Tag: Process)
- Inferential / Scientific (Tag: Process)
- Holistic v. Analytic (Tag: Descriptive)
- Component / Dimensional
- Categories of Evaluative Process
- Approaches
- Evaluands
Expand that further, and we have:
- Sub-Disciplines
- Categories of Evaluative Process
- Perceptual / Intuitive (Tag: Process)
- Perceptual <- Implies use of Sensory Organs
- Intuition <- Doesn’t imply use of sensory organs.
- Memory of Perceptions
- Heuristic Processes
- Conscious Logical Processes
- Inferential / Scientific (Tag: Process)
- Inferential <- Formalized
- Statistical
- Non-Statistical
- Formalized
- Scientific <- If it’s scientific its either inferential, or we would have to accept that trained intuition.
- Trained Intuition <- Intuition developed by comparison to baselines
- According to the
- Inferential <- Formalized
- Holistic v. Analytic (Tag: Descriptive)
- Holistic:
- Dimensional
- Analytic:
- Component
- Dimensional
- Holistic:
- Perceptual / Intuitive (Tag: Process)
- Categories of Evaluative Process
- Approaches
- Evaluands
