identifier
Used to represents an URN.
subject
Used to represents keywords, key phrases, or classification codes.
Angle
The abstract notion of angle. Narrow concepts include plane angle and solid angle. While both plane angle and solid angle are dimensionless, they are actually length/length and area/area respectively.
Concentration
Generic concentration without a specific type. In chemistry, concentration is defined as the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. The term concentration can be applied to any kind of chemical mixture, but most frequently it refers to solutes in solutions.
Diameter
In classical geometry, the "Diameter" of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle.
Displacement
"Displacement" is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.
Distance
"Distance" is a numerical description of how far apart objects are.
Efficiency
Efficiency is the ratio of output power to input power.
Electric Current
'Electric Current' is the flow (movement) of electric charge. This QUDT-based tag is equal to the Haystack tag https://project-haystack.org/doc/lib-phScience/elec-current
Energy
Energy is the quantity characterizing the ability of a system to do work.
Enthalpy
In thermodynamics, enthalpy is the sum of the internal energy and the product of pressure and volume of a system.
Frequency
"Frequency" is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. The repetition of the events may be periodic (that is. the length of time between event repetitions is fixed) or aperiodic (i.e. the length of time between event repetitions varies). Therefore, we distinguish between periodic and aperiodic frequencies. In the SI system, periodic frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) or multiples of hertz, while aperiodic frequency is measured in becquerel (Bq). In spectroscopy, v is mostly used. Light passing through different media keeps its frequency, but not its wavelength or wavenumber.
Height
"Height" is the measurement of vertical distance, but has two meanings in common use. It can either indicate how "tall" something is, or how "high up" it is.
Length
In geometric measurements, length most commonly refers to the estimated dimension of an object. In some contexts, the term "length" is reserved for a certain dimension of an object along which the length is measured.
Luminance
Illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. It is a measure of the intensity of the incident light, wavelength-weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception. As a note, focus is the light source, which is mostly NOT the interest in the building control domain.
Luminous Flux
Luminous Flux or Luminous Power is the measure of the perceived power of light. It differs from radiant flux, the measure of the total power of light emitted, in that luminous flux is adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light.
Power
Power is the rate at which work is performed or energy is transmitted, or the amount of energy required or expended for a given unit of time. As a rate of change of work done or the energy of a subsystem, power is work divided by time.
Pressure
Pressure is an effect which occurs when a force is applied on a surface. Pressure is the amount of force acting on a unit area. Pressure is distinct from stress, as the former is the ratio of the component of force normal to a surface to the surface area. Stress is a tensor that relates the vector force to the vector area.
Electrical Voltage
Voltage, also referred to as Electric Tension, is the difference between electrical potentials of two points. For an irrotational electric field, the voltage is independent of the path between the two points a and b.
Width
"Width" is the middle of three dimensions: length, width, thickness.

has address
Hosts 0...n vcard compatible addresses, usually fro a location. A domain definition is not defined. This allows to merge it with other ontologies, defined domains would result in an domain intersection (which is not the intended behavior).
