Class `<<DataType>> PhysicalDescription`

A class to describe the numeric physical properties of a geologic unit, earth material, or geologic structure. (eg; density, porosity, magnetic susceptibility, remanent magnetism). These properties are modelled here as scalar numeric values (swe:Quantity).

Vector and tensor physical properties are considered to be more applicable to located observations and should be delivered as SamplingFeature/Observations with associated geologic unit or geologic structure features.

Local Subclasses: (none)
