Scope note:
This class is a specialization of E55 Type and comprises the types of measurement units: feet, inches, centimetres, litres, lumens, etc.
This type is used categorically in the model without reference to instances of it, i.e., the Model does not foresee the description of instances of instances of E58 Measurement Unit, e.g.: “instances of cm”.
Système International (SI) units or internationally recognized non-SI terms should be used whenever possible, such as those defined by ISO80000:2009. Archaic Measurement Units used in historical records should be preserved.
Examples:
cm [centimetre]
km [kilometre]
m [meter]
m/s [meters per second] (Hau et al., 1999)
A [Ampere]
GRD [Greek Drachme] (E98) (Daniel, 2014)
C [degrees centigrade] (Beckman, 1998)
In First Order Logic:
- E58(x) ⇒ E55(x)
Incoming properties:
- crm:E54 Dimension → crm:P91 has unit (is unit of) (0,n:1,1)

| Cette classe est une sous-classe de E55_Type et comprend les types d'unités de mesure : pieds, pouces, centimètres, litres, lumens, etc.Ce type est utilisé catégoriquement dans le modèle sans référence à des instances de celui-ci, c.-à-d. que le modèle ne prévoit pas la description d'instances de E58_Unité_de_mesure, par exemple « instances de cm ».Les unités du Système international d'unités (SI) ou des termes reconnus internationalement mais qui ne font pas partie du SI doivent être utilisés lorsque possible, comme les unités de mesures définies par le standard ISO 80000:2009. Les unités de mesure archaïques utilisées dans des documents historiques doivent être préservées. | fr | CIDOC CRM version 7.1.3 | 0 |
