Class: ValueSpecification

A Thing that is a value of some kind. This class can be used to describe an outcome of a measurement, a factual value or constant, or other qualitative or quantitative information with an associated identifier. If no identifier is available, an AttributeSpecification can be used within the context of an associated Thing (attributes).

  attributes:
    name: attributes
    description: Declares a relation that associates a `Thing` (or another attribute)
      with an attribute, where an attribute is an intrinsic characteristic, such as
      a quality, capability, disposition, function, or is an externally derived attribute
      determined from some descriptor (e.g. a quantity, position, label/identifier).
      Technically, this declaration is done via an `AttributeSpecification` that combines
      a `predicate` with a value declaration and the attribute-related slots of a
      `Thing`. Importantly, such attributes are declared inline, because they do not
      have a unique identifier. If an identifier is available, a `Thing` declaration
      (see `relation`), and a qualification of that relationship via a `Statement`
      (see `characterized_by`) should be preferred.

      Typically, no explicit value needs to be assigned to this slot, because it matches
      the class type of a particular record. However, this slots can be used as a
      type designator of a schema element for validation and schema structure handling
      purposes. This is used to indicate specialized schema classes for properties
      that accept a hierarchy of classes as their range.
