Description of the image in section 5 of the "Metadata Vocabulary for Tabular Data" document

The image consists of a number of boxes, each with a title and list of terms. Each term belongs to a category (shown as a different color on the image) and some of the terms are linked to other boxes to denote a reference to either a value or an array of values (differentiated with a different arrow head on the image).

This description uses a series of definition items, one item per box. The item name represents is the title of the box, the item content is a list of terms. Each term has a name and, in brackets, the corresponding category. Links in the image are denoted by hyperlinks to the corresponding boxes; the class value on the hyperlink means the reference is for a value (denoted in green in the text), whereas the class array on the hyperlink means the reference is for an array of values (denoted in red in the text).
