Yes, possibly. As I said "Or may be some variation on the above that distinguishes between bridge heights and other height measurements.” I didn’t find a height quantity kind in QUDT.
My main point on how a restriction could look like, however, was that there would be some class, instances of which are certain quantities e.g., bridge heights. Thus, a restriction on the class Bridge could point to that class. I think other modeling patterns are also possible with QUDT. I t would be good to have a few examples of how to use it. > On May 9, 2017, at 9:58 AM, Jack Hodges <[email protected]> wrote: > > Irene, > > It seems to me that 'height' should be a quantity kind and not a quantity.
