A :ValueObject is an entity which represents a specific value. This value can be a numerical, textual, or a more complex data structure. If a literal value is to be specified, the :value datatype property has to be used. In cases where the value is represented by a resource (e.g. URI), the :resource object property has to be used. A value object, respectively its value, is always associated with an entity of type :Process, :ProcessingNode, :Object (e.g. :Specimen), :DigitalEntity, :Project, or other :ValueObject. The value is meant to be a charactaristic of the associated entity. To express this association it is indended to use the :characteristic object property if the value decribes some \"quality\", or the :participant (:input,:output) if it is participating a process. A value object might also refer to a unit. The :unit property might be used (e.g. with QUDT ontology). Instances of a value object might also be a type of :ValueScope, namely a :SetPoint (nominal value), or :Measurement (measured value). With :Setpoint the intend is to express, that the value is meant to be some preset, setting or nominal value. :Measurement expresses, that the value has been measured or determined somehow (see example). Instances of a value object might also be specified in a specific :DataScope (:Metadata, :PrimaryData, :SecondaryData). |
