Concept	Definition
Anthropometric Profile	A point-in-time record of body measurements collected about a person using a defined anthropometric protocol (SMART, WHO Anthro, a CMAM screening form). Captures raw measurements (height, weight, MUAC), the measurement technique and oedema status, the age of the subject at measurement, the growth reference used to derive z-scores, and any derived status bands (stunting, wasting, underweight, acute malnutrition) together with the cutoff rule that produced them. The growth reference and age at measurement are required context: a band classification without them cannot be re-derived or compared across datasets.
Dwelling Damage Profile	A point-in-time record of post-shock housing and shelter conditions for a household, typically anchored to a triggering hazard event. Captures the observed damage level, current habitability, shelter arrangement, functional status of essential services, non-food items missing, and stated reconstruction intent alongside the administration context (instrument, respondent, assessment location). Baseline housing and WASH properties are reused from SocioEconomicProfile to describe the dwelling's usual characteristics.
Food Security Profile	A point-in-time record of household (or, for MDD-W, individual) food-security data collected using one or more instruments from the humanitarian food-security canon: WFP FCS, rCSI, LCS, and CARI; FAO HDDS, FIES, MDD-W, and MAHFP; and the FANTA HHS. Captures the raw item responses alongside the administration context (instrument, mode, respondent, recall period) and carries canonical-rule derived outputs for each instrument's standard scoring function (for example, the FCS weighted score and consumption group using WFP standard 21/35 thresholds, the rCSI sum score, the HHS category, or the LCS severity band). CARI, as a second-order composite that consumes scores from multiple instruments, is recorded via ScoringEvent rather than on this profile.
