Measured vs Quantitative Value

[mkhraisha]

What is the difference between Measured and Quantitative Values?

Measured Value:

traceability-vocab/packages/traceability-schemas/schemas/MeasuredValue.json

Line 6 in 73eeb16

"description": "The measurement of an Observation.",

Quantitative Value:

traceability-vocab/packages/traceability-schemas/schemas/QuantitativeValue.json

Line 6 in 73eeb16

"description": "A point value or interval for product characteristics and other purposes",

Both appear to be using the same Schema.org definition.

I would say that https://w3id.org/traceability/schemas/MeasuredValue.json should point to https://www.schema.org/hasMeasurement, not https://www.schema.org/QuantitativeValue.

Generally agree - i would note that hasMeasurement is still marked pending incorporation by my read and I think that was likely a motivation to use quant value - also verbiage as a getter is odd to me in this context.

http://www.qudt.org/ also.

[mprorock]

we also have a need for categroical classes in a mix with quant values - e.g. "too low to measure" vs "5" of some thing

I'll give this a go

@nissimsan , get your act together

[OR13]

Suggest we ask the lists regarding this.

[nissimsan]

I suggest we change 'MeasuredValue` to https://service.unece.org/trade/uncefact/vocabulary/uncefact/#Measurement.

It has a relevant code list of typeCodes too:

[nissimsan]

Provide example of measurements. Propose here, then we can move to a PR.

Nis on call:

If you have a measurement use MeasuredValue, if it is a quantity use Quantitative Value.
