The mcdaConcept attribute allows to specify to what mcda concept a tag is related. It is used by an algorithm to make choices which will have an influence on the output. The documentation of the program should therefore specify, if necessary, what mcdaConcept should be used for the input data. In particular, if an algorithm requires, among other things, twice the same input tag, they can be differenciated by the mcdaConcept (this is even mandatory if they are present in the same file, but should be optional if the two tags can be in different input files, or originate from two different programs). The algorithm should therefore not be too strict on these mcdaConcepts, as this will reduce the compatibility between the various programs.

A general function which can be of one of the following four types: either a constant, an affine function (defined by a slope and an intercept), a piecewise linear function (defined by a sequence of segments), or a set of points.
