Subproperty of:

• crmsci:S4 Observation → crmsci:O16 observed value (value was observed by) → crm:E1 CRM Entity
• crm:E13 Attribute Assignment → crm:P141 assigned (was assigned by) → crm:E1 CRM Entity

Superproperty of:

• crmdig:D11 Digital Measurement Event → crmdig:L20 has created (was created by) → crmdig:D9 Data Object

Scope note:

This property records the dimension that was observed in an E16 Measurement Event.

E54 Dimension can be any quantifiable aspect of E70 Thing. Weight, image colour depth and monetary value are dimensions in this sense. One measurement activity may determine more than one dimension of one object.

Dimensions may be determined either by direct observation or using recorded evidence. In the latter case the measured Thing does not need to be present or extant.

Even though knowledge of the value of a dimension requires measurement, the dimension may be an object of discourse prior to, or even without, any measurement being made.

Examples:

The measurement of the height of silver cup 232 on 31^st August 1997 (E16) observed dimension silver cup 232 height (E54). [which has unit mm (E58), has value 224 (E60) ] (fictitious)

The carbon 14 dating of the “Schoeninger Speer II” in 1996 (E16) observed dimension the carbon 14 based temporal distance from 1996 to the growth of the wood of the “Schoeninger Speer II” (E60). [The carbon 14 dating of an approximately 400.000 year old complete Old Palaeolithic wooden spear found in Schoeningen, Niederachsen, Germany, in 1995. See also: E16 Measurement.] (Kouwenhoven, 1997)

In First Order Logic:

• P40(x,y) ⊃ E16(x)
• P40(x,y) ⊃ E54(y)
• P40(x,y) ⊃ O16(x,y)
• P40(x,y) ⊃ P141(x,y)
