Dear Richard,
It requires a sort of datatype or encoding.
Assume unit = "ft&inches"
value = <3,6>
would that make sense?
In the xsd datatypes everything is in the value already.
best,
martin

While we're looking at this area, I would be grateful if we could also
look at Value and Unit.
I have never understood how P90 and P91 are actually meant to be used
together. I can see how a single E54 can be represented by a single
P90 and a single P91, but how do we represent anything more complex?
An example would be "3 ft 6 inches". Can that be an E54 Dimension, and
if so how do you know which unit applies to which value?
Thanks,
Richard

Dear All.
Continuing issue 363,
I propose the following:
"Whereas the CRM regards that intervals of primitive values are
primitive values by themselves, there is currently no corresponding
practice in RDF. Therefore, in analogy to the properties of E52
Time-Span, we define in CRM RDFS two more subproperties of P90 has
value: “P90a_has_lower_value_limit” and “P90b_has_upper_value_limit”.
The precise guidelines for using these properties are to be given."
Sensor arrays, more and more in use, pose the issue of a single
measurement resulting in an array of numbers which altogether form
one quantitative statement about the observed. We can describe such
structures easily as one complex type of unit (and define an IRI for
it), and then regard the value to a matrix of numbers, in which each
position obeys subunits as defined in the complex unit type.
Even if we regard complex matrices of numbers as one value for an
instance of E54 Dimension, such as RGB image, we can argue that
minimal and maximal values exist as two separate matrices of the same
structure.
Consequently I propose to deprecate P83, P84, because in competes
with an interval interpretation of P90, and :
Introduce instead Pxxx had duration, Domain: E52 <#_E52_Time-Span>
Time-Span, Range: E54 <#_E54_Dimension> Dimension
and use the P90, P90a, P90b as adequate
or introduce an Exxx Temporal Duration , subclass of E54 Dimension,
and define subproperties in RDFS ending in xsd:duration.
See:
P83 had at least duration (was minimum duration of)
Domain:E52 <#_E52_Time-Span> Time-Span
Range:E54 <#_E54_Dimension> Dimension
Quantification:one to one (1,1:1,1)
Scope note:This property describes the minimum length of time covered
by an E52 Time-Span.
It allows an E52 Time-Span to be associated with an E54 Dimension
representing it’s minimum duration (i.e. it’s inner boundary)
independent from the actual beginning and end.
Examples:
§the time span of the Battle of Issos 333 B.C.E. (E52) /had at least
duration/ Battle of Issos minimum duration (E54) /has/ /unit//(P91)/
day (E58) /has value (P90)/ 1 (E60)
In First Order Logic:
P83(x,y) ⊃E52(x)
P83(x,y) ⊃E54(y)
P84 had at most duration (was maximum duration of)
Domain:E52 <#_E52_Time-Span> Time-Span
Range:E54 <#_E54_Dimension> Dimension
Quantification:one to one (1,1:1,1)
Scope note:This property describes the maximum length of time covered
by an E52 Time-Span.
It allows an E52 Time-Span to be associated with an E54 Dimension
representing it’s maximum duration (i.e. it’s outer boundary)
independent from the actual beginning and end.
Examples:
§the time span of the Battle of Issos 333 B.C.E. (E52) /had at most
duration/ Battle of Issos maximum duration (E54) /has unit/
/(P91)/day (E58) /has value (P90)/ 2 (E60)
In First Order Logic:
P84(x,y) ⊃E52(x)
P84(x,y) ⊃E54(y)
