Description
An indicator comprises a characteristic or condition which can be described or measured in a way which provides information about some other characteristic or condition which is, itself, not amenable to direct observation or measurement.

Working definition: An indicator is a variable that is of a particular interest, for example those that are reported in the risk assessment report.
