Finding a better name for “context” or “variant” for describing a software object concept
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{
margin-bottom:0;
}
Problem:
In a software product, there is the possibility to define sets of parameters
(key, value pairs). The functionality is encapsulated in an object in the
code, to be reused by programmers wherever the functionality is needed.
Those parameter sets objects must have a name.
There is a second level of naming: it is possible to define multiple "versions" of the parameter values, each set of values being also identified with a name.
So, the EXPERIMENT parameters set can have fields like:
- sample name
- date
- data directory
There would be experiment 1 with some values, and experiment 2 with
different values.
How would you call "experiment 1" and "experiment 2" ?
I came with context, could also be variant or similar...
Indeed one can display the value of EXPERIMENT.contexts and see ['experiment1, 'experiment 2'] and then it is possible to switch to or activate "experiment 1" or "experiment 2" to get updated parameters values
for the EXPERIMENT object.
(sorry for the long description but it is not an easy thing to describe !)
Question: would you help me finding better names for the contexts/variants ? And for the parameters set object ?
Thanks in advance !

How about instances? experiment_1 and experiment_2 are both instances of EXPERIMENT. And EXPERIMENT is an object. Seems pretty straight-forward to me

instances is not bad, but it is connoted in object-oriented programming. In reality "experiment 1" and "experiment 2" are not instances of "EXPERIMENT" (in the OOP sense). EXPERIMENT is an instance of a class, but the other two are "views" (or similar... this is what I am searching for) of the parameters with different values

I know the notion is reserved in OOP, but from a more logical pov, this is still an instance. Other ideas: You could call EXPERIMENT a concept, and experiment 1 could be called realization, for instance.

In the FHIR system for medical data that would be a codeable concept.
http://hl7.org/fhir/DSTU2/datatypes.html#CodeableConcept for JSON or the java class in HL7 is org.hl7.fhir.instance.model.CodeableConcept;
You can see how it's used for in the Procedure resource for example where they are used to save procedure codes, the body site etc.
