multidimensional_object

A <multidimensional_object> is an <abstract_object> that is an ordered list of <thing>. The significance of the <multidimensional_object> is determined by being a member of a <class_of_multidimensional_object> that indicates the role played by each of its elements.
NOTE The <multidimensional_object> [A,B,C] is different from [B,C,A].
EXAMPLE [32, 1.8, 20] is a <multidimensional_object> that may be specified to be the input parameters for the function y=a+bx to convert 20 Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Attribute definitions:

elements	:	The list of <thing> that constitute the <multidimensional_object>. The role of each <thing> is determined by a classifying <class_of_multidimensional_object>.
position	:	The position of the element relative to the list of roles in the classifying <class_of_multidimensional_object>. The elements shall be listed in ascending order. When this attribute is missing, then all elements are present as defined in the <class_of_multidimensional_object>. NOTE This attribute is required when some elements are missing. The list data type does not allow empty elements in the list. This attribute, when present, supplies the mapping information.
