INEP IGC discrete grade
[edit]Motivation
[edit]The Brazilian Ministry of Education instituted several Higher Education Institutions assessment systems, being the most important one the ENADE.
ENADE outputs several metrics, among those the most commonly publicized as "the" method for national university quality standings is the IGC.
The IGC has two variants: continuous and "lanes" (from the portuguese "faixa"), it's discrete form.
The continuous form is used mostly in elaboration of university rankings, while the discrete form used as a form of badge: 5 discrete IGC being the equivalent of a "5 star" university. Institutions with discrete IGC of 1 and 2 are institutions destined to government scrutiny in the following years if they are to keep their status as licensed higher educational organizations.
The IGC standings are open data made accessible by the government in a periodic basis.

Discussion
[edit]- Comment I think this sort of property is best handled with the "item" datatype, where you create an item for each of the different levels (if they don't already exist) - i.e. an item for "5 star", "4 star", etc. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:10, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
- Makes sense, although there's no official denomination of what that unit should be. But IMO if the reasoning follows for this property, it should so too for the continuous one. Being discrete or continuous shouldn't matter in the decision of creating an item to represent the scale. Villasv (talk) 20:53, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't mean an item to represent the scale, I meant an item for each value of the scale. That's how we usually handle discrete classifications, at least if they are not too large. You can't do that with a continuous scale obviously. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:40, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Understood. Either way is fine by me, so I'll wait other people make their inputs. Villasv (talk) 18:59, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- @ArthurPSmith:do you have an exemple (of discrete scale property proposal) for me to follow? Villasv (talk) 12:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Villasv: There's IUCN conservation status (P141) although that uses words rather than numbers. Ethnologue language status (P3823) values are alphanumeric with labels. volcanic explosivity index (P1903) may be close to what you are looking for? I think there are many others like this.

- @ArthurPSmith: Ok, I've changed the data type to Item, added the subject item (already existed) to the property in the Domain above and already created the parts required following the examples. Villasv (talk) 16:25, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

- Support Looks ready to me, thanks! ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
@ArthurPSmith, Villasv: Done: INEP IGC discrete grade (P6095). − Pintoch (talk) 14:47, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
