In words as I read it, the River Yangtze has a length which is a LengthMeasure whose transform is #LengthInKilometers and whose numerical value (the result of applying the transform, as we know, but as RDF does not ) is 6300. That is exactly the idea. (And, as we also know, it might have other LengthMeasures as well). This is interesting - using this pattern we could have an area whose width is in one unit and whose length is in another. Very gratifying! Cheers, Tom P
