Hm. The current way of representing something similar (but different) to what you propose is:
E70 Thing -> P43 has dimension -> E54 Dimension -> P90 has value -> E60 Number The path starts from Things (and not CRM Entities) and ends to Numbers (and not Primitive Values, i.e. also Strings, Time Primitives and whatever we can invent in the future): it gives a numeric value to a thing. The proposed change would allow giving, through the "new" P90, a generic value defined as E59 Primitive Value, i.e anything, also to E2 Temporal Entities, E53 Places etc, all subclasses of E1. What can be an example of the Primitive Value of a Temporal Entity or of a Place? For example “Bronze Age”, an instance of E4 Period, cannot have a primitive value whatever; it may have a Time Span and take place somewhere in a Place. Time spans may P83/84 have durations, instances of E54. Dimensions would need to be considered not only as something that can be measured with numbers only: for example “poor - fair - good - excellent” would be acceptable for the space of Values, same for “strings of UTF8 characters”. It is not necessary to specify what the values is, as it by definition could be anything So I would rather suggest to leave the domain of P43 as is, i.e. Things only; and the range of P90, as you propose, could become E59, i.e. strings or anything else to be created as subclass of E59, without short-cutting the above. This allows specifying what we are talking about the Thing (its length, its social value, its ranking on its Facebook page, its translation into Estonian), i.e. the dimension; and how we measure it if desired, - E58 Measurement Unit. Best Franco PS This discussion reminds me of a commercial advertising a credit card. It showed somebody buying a ring for the beloved one, paying the dinner with her, buying flowers, and ended saying that one can buy everything with the card, but romance has no price.
