| Abstract: | The concept of measurement is fundamental to a whole range of different disciplines, including not only the natural and engineering
sciences, but also laboratory medicine and certain branches of the social sciences. This being the case, the concept of measurement
has a particular relevance to the development of top-level ontologies in the area of knowledge engineering. For this reason,
the present paper is concerned with ontological aspects of measurement. We are searching for a list of concepts that are apt
to characterize measurement methods in a general manner. To establish such means of characterization, we will primarily deal
with the semantics of measurement values.
