And I agree that the process model of assigning the value is probably even more important than the value itself. However, it is a big concern to me if we do not a define a datatype. At the most, may be a couple of values with some sort of conversion scheme between them but I think we are going to get really big interoperability problems if we do not define values. Also, I'm not really sure if the confidence property should be optional, to me that depends on the process to calculate it. Best, Shadi
