Re: dwbp-ACTION-271: create a dimension for precision in the DQV namespace

Hi all,
I have added the precision instance [1] and an example showing how accuracy
and precision can be documented with DQV  [2].

Reading again the email from  Andrea [3], the only thing we still have not
addressed is  a way to  formally express the scale of the quality
measurement. A formal representation of the scale would be useful to
convert  automatically measurements coming from different parties.

Unfortunately, I think we do not have time  to  go deep on that, even if
there are already some solutions defined by third parties (e.g., [4] )    I
am not  comfortable in adopting a solution in such a short time.

my view is that
If (due to the short term schedule)  we are not in the position to suggest
the best way  ( or at least a good way) to document the scale of
measurements, we should consider to  leave  open the formal definition of
scale ...

If there are no further comments, I would suggest to close this action and
to forward the example to Andrea and the SDW group.
Cheers,
Riccardo
