    dcterms:description """
  <p>A <em>Multi-Dimensional Array</em> is an extension of a standard one-dimensional array,
   where elements are organized in a grid-like structure across two or more dimensions. 
  It is a collection of elements arranged in a tabular or multi-dimensional structure for representing complex datasets,
   such as matrices, tensors, or higher-dimensional data.
  </p>
  <p>The elements of a multi-dimensional array are N-tuples, where 'N' corresponds to the dimensionality of the array.
  Each element is specified using the property 'qudt:element'.
  </p>
  <p>Ordinary or one-dimensional arrays are indexed by a single integer. 
  For a multi-dimensional array, the index into the array uses an ordered list of integers, such as in 'a[3,1,5]'. 
  The length of the list of integers used to index into the multi-dimensional array is always the same.
  This is referred to as the array's dimensionality. 
  The bounds on each of these are called the array's dimensions.
