you are right, I meant "Area" - its good to look up terms before using
them.

could you, please, provide a link to where I can read about "Has allowed
value set" - I didn't find it on the SMW page...

it sounds reasonable. Will I be able to query with some deviation, for
example
[[height=2 +/- 1]]
[[length=5 +/- 0.5]]
[[area = 5 +/- 3]] ?

In my case there are hundreds of input elements, so doing it manually is
not an option. Do I need to program an extension in PHP or maybe it can
be done with Semantic Rules extension, ParserFunction or something like
that?
thank you very much!
