enNote: There's considerable disagreement about ethnicity and race among professions and the public in general. However, since many government and social programs and activities are defined in terms of race and ethnicity there is a need to put forward a basic definition that can be modified as needed and is based on commonly accepted definitions of race and ethnicity.

An ethnic category refers to a category of individuals or an ethnic group of human beings whose members identify with each other on a common basis such as common ancestry, cultural, behavioral, language, ritual or religious traits. These common attributes have normally developed over an extended period of time.

An ethnic group regards itself as a distinct 'community' by virtue of these common characteristics that distinguish it from other ethnic or similar groups.

There are two characteristics of most ethnic groups:

  1. They have a shared history over an extended period of time of which the group is conscious as distinguishes it from other groups.
  2. They have a cultural tradition of their own that include family, social customs, manners and possibly religious values.

Other associated common characteristics:

  • common geography
  • common descent from ancestors
  • common language

Race and Ethnicity can be related.

Race is commonly predicated upon obvious physical characteristics such as skin color, body shapes and similar means of differentiation:

  • Black
  • Asian
  • Latino
  • Pacific Islander
  • White
  • Native American Indian
  • Arab

Within these broad racial groups are many ethnic groups as well as ethnic groups that have developed over time based on new geography, language, or customs ("Japanese" vs. "Japanese American") with the above characteristics.

has.entitySchemaAbstractionLevel
A level of abstraction assigned to an Entity schema. Logical schema descriptions use complex dataTypes, inheritance, and entities as attributes. Resolved descriptions contain none of those things, only final trait and attribute sets are shown. A composition schema manipulates, guides, or restates parts of logical schemas to produce one resolved schema.
