It can be used when describing a definition that highlights the distinctive features or qualities of a particular concept or term.

Third, those surviving were presented to an expert panel using a two round modified-Delphi study to gain an alternative perspective on characteristic definitions, practicality of assessment, and characteristic importance.
The aim of this round was to reach consensus from a panel of experts on the suitability of 11 proposed characteristic definitions (ie. 6 data quality, 3 operational and 2 practical characteristics) for an injury surveillance system, the importance of these 11 characteristics for injury surveillance, and the practicality of assessing these 11 characteristics in an injury surveillance system.
The expert panel rated the appropriateness of the revised characteristic definitions using the same 5-point Likert scale as in the previous round.
However it is possible that additional Delphi rounds may have resulted in more characteristics being included in the EFISS, as further revision of characteristic definitions may have resulted in higher ratings of appropriateness and importance by the expert panel.
Each panel member was asked to provide feedback on the appropriateness of the revised round one characteristic definitions and to rate the importance of all 28 characteristics for one of the three EFISS areas (i.e. data quality, operational, or practical characteristics of an injury surveillance system).
