Measurement A metric measurement of a subject. A measurement of or fact about an rdfs:Resource (http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource). The measurement closely resembles the Darwin Core class MeasurementOrFact. In EthoCore, measurements are restricted to metric measurements, whether other assertions are consider observations. Resources can be thought of as identifiable records or instances of classes and may include, but need not be limited to Occurrences, Organisms, MaterialSamples, Events, Locations, GeologicalContexts, Identifications, or Taxa. Examples: The weight of an organism in grams. The number of placental scars. In the case of climatological data, the rdfs:Resource could be (or should be) the site. I.e., "the daily rainfall of [site] equals x mm". Best practice is therefore for all projects to create a "site" resource (and in the app this should be part of the initial app configuration process). recommended http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/MeasurementOrFact Decided to branch MeasurementOrFact into Observation and Measurement classes Ethogrammar http://ethoinformatics.org/ethocore/Measurement Measurement N/A 2 2016-04-13 2016-04-13 kenny 2016-04-13 In the case of climatological data, the rdfs:Resource could be (or should be) the site.

Ethogrammar makes more use of IDs, but these could be concatenated and separated as well as a compromise between the two concepts.
