But you can't specify terms in DV_COUNT while DV_ORDINAL.symbol can be used to specify the arbitrary units but not as physical property units of measure, but as a terminology concept / term. On Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 1:30 PM, Thomas Beale wrote: > > On 30/01/2018 16:24,

Right - at the moment, it is a 'fake' field in archetypes, enabled by being in the BMM or other expression of the RM. It's convenient to do this occasionally, since we don't think 'property' needs to be a field of DV_QUANTITY - but maybe it should be, since for some of the more esoteric units,

Ah I was being dense, I thought you were talking about the units field, not the property field. In that case, what would it mean if property were set to 'Arbitrary' - does that mean the units has to be from the current list of arbitrary units, which is not-length, not-pressure, not-everything

It would be good if OpenEhr RM would support the UCUM-properties fully in the DvQuantity, then all problems regarding units would be over for the next 20 years, and no maintenance on customer or OpenEHR-foundation side is needed. UCUM is, I think, widely regarded as the most important
