Dear all,

First, apologies if my question has already been discussed in a previous
SIG meeting/issue.

I was wondering if CIDOC CRM currently allows representing a
measurement (instance of E16 Measurement), not by providing a value and
unit (through an instance of E54 Dimension), but by comparing it with an
instance of another dimension/measurement.
Use case: modeling information about historical earthquakes.
There are (historical) documents that provide information about old/ancient
earthquakes and this information is expressed at various levels of detail
and precision. For example, there is the below case:
- Earthquake instance 1: November 26, 1861 (00:40-02:40). Very strong.
- Earthquake instance 2: November 27, 1861 (04:00-07:00). *Stronger than
that of Nov 6* (i.e. stronger than earthquake instance 1)
If we ask for "very strong" earthquakes, the ideal system should also
return instance 2.

So, the question is how we can model the information 'stronger than'
between two instances of  E54 Dimension (or E60 Number?), since this is how
it appears in the original source.

Is there a straightforward way that I do not see?

Could this be done through E13 Attribute Assignment (if yes, how?)

Thank you!

Best regards,
Pavlos
