Conceptually, I think there is no relevant difference between a quantitative value and a measurement, since all what we process in computer systems are abstractions of reality, so any qualitative value represented in any computer system is essentially tied to a measurement activitity (except for values generated randomly or algorithmically, but with a wider notion of what "measurement" means, that could well be covered, too).
