ISO 24617-11 is the 11th part of a series of documents that covers the measurable or magnitudinal aspect of quantity so that it can focus on the technical or practical use of measurements in IR (information retrieval), QA (question answering), TS (text summarization), and other NLP (natural language processing) applications.
ISO 24617-11 also treats temporal durations that are discussed in ISO 24617-1, and spatial measures such as distances that are treated ISO 24617-7, while making them interoperable with other measure types.
Note: ISO 24617-12 deals with more general and theoretical issues of quantification and quantitative information.
ISO 24617-11 on language resource management of MQI is relevant to:
Measurable quantitative information (MQI) such as ‘165 cm’ or ‘60 kg’ of ‘John’ that applies to the height or weight of the person is very common in ordinary language. MQI describes one of the basic properties that is associated with the magnitude aspect of quantity. The main characteristic of MQI is that quantitative information is presented as measures expressed in terms of a pair consisting of a numerically expressed quantity, which is either basic or derived, or either normalized or conventionally used.
ISO 24617-11 informs you about the measurable or magnitudinal aspect of quantity so that you can focus on the technical or practical use of measurements.
ISO 24617-11 enables you to formulate a general annotation scheme that facilitates the processing of MQI in scientific and technical language and to make it interoperable with other semantic annotation schemes. This will help you exchange and make use of the information in measurable terms.
