A type of property, such as maximum weight or reflux boiler temperature. Used to define the role of a data value in pty equipment facility, and point, element, sparse and sample data types.

ref_property_type (M, K: ref_property_type)

Specifies the quantity property or descriptive property associated with this kind. Each ref_property_kind must be composed of one ref_property_type.


ref_property_qualifier (O, K: ref_property_qualifier)

Specifies the qualifier associated with this kind. For example, "average" can qualify vertical depths. Each ref_property_kind may be composed of one ref_property_qualifier.


ref_kind_descriptor (O, K: ref_kind_descriptor)

Specifies the descriptor associated with this kind. For example, "P-wave" can describe seismic amplitudes. Each ref_property_kind may be composed of one ref_kind_descriptor.


source (M, I: ref_source)

The provider of this instance of reference information. If this instance is provided by POSC, then this attribute must be "POSC". Each ref_property_kind must provided by one ref_source. Inherited from reference_behavior.


status (O, I: ndt_instance_status) (0644)

The status of this instance in the version of Epicentre running in a data store. This is an enumerated datatype for which the following are the possible values: current, provisional, deprecated. Current - use without restriction. Provisional - use with caution, this value is for comment and may not appear in future releases of Epicentre. Deprecated - avoid use if possible, it is planned to remove this value in the next major release of Epicentre. Inherited from reference_behavior.


code_alias (I, V: SET[0:?] ref_code_alias(standard_code))

Defines a list of alternative names associated with this instance. These may be aliases, translations, codes, etc. Each ref_property_kind may have one or more ref_code_alias. Inherited from ref_code.


source_reference (O, I: ref_source_reference)

The reference used by source to provide the standard instance, such as Petroleum Industry Data Dictionary (PIDD), Websters Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, etc. Each ref_property_kind may documented by one ref_source_reference. Inherited from reference_behavior.


version (O, I: ref_epicentre_version) (0644)

Describes the version of Epicentre when this status was assigned to this instance of reference behavior Each ref_property_kind may version one ref_epicentre_version. Inherited from reference_behavior.
