Choosing what to measure · The candidates · Element

The candidate

Each measure being considered.

The part

What it is

Including ones that are not currently collectable, since a measure worth having may justify the instrumentation.

Where a candidate is only on the list because it is available, that is worth marking.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
