Interface QuantityValue

All Superinterfaces:

Value

All Known Implementing Classes:

JacksonValueQuantity, QuantityValueImpl

public interface QuantityValue
extends Value

A quantity value represents a number, possibly under some unit. The number can be of arbitrary precision. Additional upper and lower bounds are provided to allow an interval of uncertainty to be defined.

As of Jan 2014, units of measurement are not supported yet. The interface may be extended to account for this in the future. It is intended to use external definitions for units and to identify units by wikidata.org entity ids.
