Questions about UDEF property words:
The following words could all be represented by a combination
of a number and a unit. Was there any consideration of a common
number + unit component?
>* Amount - A monetary value.
>* Angle - The rotational measurement between two lines and/or planes
>diverging from a common point and/or line.
>* Dimension - A one dimensional measured linear distance.
>* Mass - The measure of inertia of a body.
>* Quantity - A nonmonetary numeric value.
>* Temperature - The measure of heat in an object.
>* Weight - The force with which an object is attracted toward the
>earth and/or other celestial body by gravitation.
Does Quantity have a unit, or is it just a number?
>* Date - The notation of a specific period of time.
Does Date mean one 24-hour calendar day? If so, what is the
word for a duration, for example 63.5 hours, or 2 weeks?
If not, why call it Date?
>* Time - A notation of a specified chronological point within a
>period.
Does Time mean time-of-any-day, e.g. Noon, or a TimeStamp,
e.g. Noon October 15, 2001?
Thanks,
Bob Haugen
