Subject: [humanmarkup-comment] Base Schema - measurement
Ah, at last, an element that I believe will be darn difficult to question. But I'm going to try. Actually I am just going to add a bit that I think is necessary. measurement This is a Complex Type element without the attribute abstract. It is described and defined as being used to creat distance or length values. It does not reference other elements. It is not used by other elements. I would add all the standard weights and measures. I will check on the best references for that. My only question is whether there are distinctly human values for which we need to have physical measurements? I don't think so. However, do we need separate measurements for olfactory and taste data? I suspect that we need to ask if those should be in the primary or in the Human Physical Characteristics Description Markup Language as adjunct values for sensory phenomena? I suppose we might also want to clarify intensity values which we will be using for haptics, emotion, kinesics, but I don't think they apply to this element. I'm mostly thinking out loud so to speak here since measurements apply to so many phenomena, many of which are somewhat or wholly subjective and I certainly do not think we should attempt to create measurements for such on our own.
