Focus nodes of this shape (qudt:AbstractQuantityKind) can have the following properties:

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION MIN MAX VALUE TYPE OTHER CONSTRAINTS
qudt:altSymbol An alternative symbol 0 *
qudt:latexSymbol The symbol is a glyph that is used to represent some concept, typically a unit or a quantity, in a compact form. For example, the symbol for an Ohm is $ohm$. This contrasts with 'unit:abbreviation', which gives a short alphanumeric abbreviation for the unit, 'ohm' for Ohm. 0 * qudt:LatexString
qudt:organizedUnder <p>Relates a quantity kind to a broader quantity kind for the purpose of <em>organization and unit applicability only</em> &mdash; it does <strong>not</strong> assert commensurability. A sub-property of <code>skos:broader</code> (so it contributes to the concept hierarchy), but unlike <code>qudt:specializationOf</code> it makes no commensurability claim: <code>qudt:organizedUnder</code> groups quantity kinds that share a dimension but are <em>not</em> interchangeable &mdash; principally the dimensionless quantity kinds, which are all organised under <code>quantitykind:Dimensionless</code> / <code>quantitykind:DimensionlessRatio</code> without being commensurable with one another. <code>qudt:organizedUnder</code> still contributes to the concept hierarchy (via <code>skos:broader</code>), and the build still validates that it only links quantity kinds of the same dimension, but the applicable-unit computation traverses only <code>qudt:specializationOf</code> &mdash; an organizational grouping confers no units on its members. The commensurability test likewise traverses <code>qudt:specializationOf</code> and <code>qudt:exactMatch</code> (never <code>qudt:organizedUnder</code>).</p> 0 * qudt:QuantityKind
qudt:specializationOf <p>Relates a quantity kind to a broader quantity kind of which it is a <em>specialization</em>, asserting <strong>commensurability</strong>: the two share a dimension, their values are comparable and addable, and their units are inter-convertible. A sub-property of <code>skos:broader</code>. Commensurability families are the connected components under <code>(qudt:specializationOf | qudt:exactMatch)</code>. Contrast <code>qudt:organizedUnder</code>, which groups quantity kinds without asserting commensurability.</p> 0 * qudt:QuantityKind
