Attribute, Quality & Measurement

Encodes reified qualities, perceptual properties, origin, and measurement relations. Most of these microframes follow the DUL Quality–Region pattern: a quality is reified as an independent entity (Quality), and its value is located in an abstract space (Region). This enables time-indexing and observational relativity.

`fnbr:has_as_attribute`

An entity has a particular attribute (a reified quality whose value lies in a region).

`fnbr:measured_by`

`fnbr:measures`

An entity or instrument measures a quantity, quality, or dimension of another entity. The inverse perspective of measured_by.

`fnbr:quantifies`
