| Shrnutí: | This article elaborates on a proposal for expressing measurement data in digital systems. Systems will deal with compact three-component expressions of data, comprising: an aspect, value and scale. The aspect and scale will be compactly encoded as unique digital identifiers, which can also serve as keys to access information held in central registers. A register-based way to provide legitimate conversion operations between different expressions of data is also envisaged.The proposal addresses known difficulties with digital representation of SI units and extends support to a range of measurement data that cannot be expressed in the SI. The notion of aspect is an extension of ‘quantity’ and ‘kind of quantity’, which are terms used in association with the SI. The idea of a scale combines a conventional measurement unit or reference with the notion of a particular mathematical structure for the expression of values, sometimes called a level of measurement. |
