<p>Meanwhile, @ttnphns has changed his opinion (<a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5184/a-new-tag-for-mixture-of-data-types?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1#comment15631_5184">see here</a>) and following that, @gung approved the pending synonym suggestion.</p>

<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/nominal" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;nominal&#39;" rel="tag">nominal</a> became a synonym of <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/categorical-data" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;categorical-data&#39;" rel="tag">categorical-data</a>.</p>
