The use of the term "precision" here is a little alarming to me in light of the distinction between precision and accuracy. We should avoid any incentivization of high precision, as precise values are not necessarily accurate. The precision reported for a measurement needs to be appropriate to the accuracy with which it was taken. Resolution is a different thing altogether, and the references listed in the action are about resolution, not precision and not accuracy. -Annette http://en-us.fluke.com/training/training-library/test-tools/digital-multimeters/accuracy-resolution-range-counts-digits-and-precision.html On 3/16/16 6:35 AM, Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group Issue Tracker wrote: > dwbp-ACTION-271: create a dimension for precision in the DQV namespace > > http://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/track/actions/271 > > Assigned to: Riccardo Albertoni > > > On product: Quality & Granularity Vocabulary > > create a dimension for precision in the DQV namespace > > > -- Annette Greiner NERSC Data and Analytics Services Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
