Definition
An amount of economic utility in some recognized currency.
Comment
The context of use may frequently define what kind of quantity this is and therefore what kind of units can be used. The context of use may also restrict the values for the comparator.
Constraint
qty-3 [error]
If a code for the unit is present, the system SHALL also be present
mny-1 [error]
There SHALL be a code if there is a value and it SHALL be an expression of currency. If system is present, it SHALL be ISO 4217 (system = "urn:iso:std:iso:4217" - currency).

Definition
The value of the measured amount. The value includes an implicit precision in the presentation of the value.
Comment
The implicit precision in the value should always be honored. Monetary values have their own rules for handling precision (refer to standard accounting text books).
Requirements
Precision is handled implicitly in almost all cases of measurement.

Type
Cardinality

Definition
How the value should be understood and represented - whether the actual value is greater or less than the stated value due to measurement issues; e.g. if the comparator is "<" , then the real value is < stated value.
Comment
This is labeled as "Is Modifier" because the comparator modifies the interpretation of the value significantly. If there is no comparator, then there is no modification of the value.
Requirements
Need a framework for handling measures where the value is <5ug/L or >400mg/L due to the limitations of measuring methodology.

A human-readable form of the unit.
Comment
Requirements
There are many representations for units of measure and in many contexts, particular representations are fixed and required. I.e. mcg for micrograms.

Definition
A computer processable form of the unit in some unit representation system.
Comment
The preferred system is UCUM, but SNOMED CT can also be used (for customary units) or ISO 4217 for currency. The context of use may additionally require a code from a particular system.
Requirements
Need a computable form of the unit that is fixed across all forms. UCUM provides this for quantities, but SNOMED CT provides many units of interest.
