- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/observations - Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)
An alias for gmeow:Quantity — the measured-value perspective on the same value×unit/frame×determinacy×provenance bundle (ScalarQuantity alias precedent). Equivalent to gmeow:Quantity and gmeow:ScalarQuantity. Provided for consumers who prefer the 'measured value' terminology common in metrology and sensor standards.
Structure
Subclass of: gmeow:Entity, gufo:Object
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:MeasuredValue as a specialized kind of gmeow:Entity, gufo:Object. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
Common Companion Terms
gmeow:Entity, gmeow:Quantity, gmeow:ScalarQuantity, gmeow:hasDeterminacy, gmeow:hasGranularity, gmeow:hasReferenceFrame, gmeow:hasUnit, gmeow:assertedAt, gmeow:confidence, gmeow:recordedNoLaterThan
Cross-Cutting Concerns
frames and units, provenance and evidence
Usage Advice
Use when
- Use as the metrology-flavoured name for the value×unit/frame×determinacy×provenance bundle — the same construct as
gmeow:Quantity/gmeow:ScalarQuantity— when aligning with sensor or metrology standards that say 'measured value'.
Avoid when
- Avoid modelling it as a separate class from its equivalents (owl:equivalentClass — they denote one thing) and avoid it for currency-framed money (
gmeow:MonetaryAmount); pick a single alias per export for consistency.
How to use
- Type the value
gmeow:MeasuredValue, fillgmeow:quantityValue/gmeow:quantityUncertainty, namegmeow:hasUnitandgmeow:hasDeterminacy, and linkgmeow:isResultOf; consumers reading any of the three equivalent names see the same value.
