http://qudt.org/schema/qudt/NominalScale
A nominal scale differentiates between items or subjects based only on their names or (meta-)categories and other qualitative classifications they belong to;
thus dichotomous data involves the construction of classifications as well as the classification of items.
Discovery of an exception to a classification can be viewed as progress.
Numbers may be used to represent the variables but the numbers do not have numerical value or relationship:
for example, a Globally unique identifier.
Examples of these classifications include gender, nationality, ethnicity, language, genre, style, biological species, and form.
In a university one could also use hall of affiliation as an example.
