Axiomatization Decision LogRegistro de Decisões
1 Identity-Giving FunctionFunção Identitária
Function class
PropertyMeasurementFunction ⊑ InstrumentationFunction
Realized in
PropertyMeasurementProcess ⊑ PlannedProcess
ISO 15926 and DEXPI agree on a purely functional definition — 'used for the measurement of a Property' / 'An artefact used for the measurement of a Property'. ISO adds the decisive qualification: it is defined independently from the measuring instrument that handles the result and may or may not house it. So the identity-giving function is sensing the property itself, not reporting it.
2 Genus DeterminationDeterminação do Gênero
Instrumentbfo:Object (BFO_0000030)
Instrument (COPI_0000091), not MaterialArtifact. COPI already treats primary elements as instruments — temperature element, pressure element, flow element and level element all carry genus Instrument — and a measuring element belongs with them. DEXPI types it as an artefact; ISO 15926 files it under PROCESS SIGNAL GENERATING FUNCTION, a function class that cannot serve as a genus for an artifact.
3 Differentia SpecificaDiferença Específica
∃bearerOf.PropertyMeasurementFunction

A material artifact that bears a property measurement function, sensing a property of some entity independently of the instrument that handles the result.

Necessary-only. An earlier draft made this equivalent on MaterialArtifact + PropertyMeasurementFunction, which was too broad: every instrument measures a property. The genus was also wrong, and only an unanchored function stub kept the reasoner from placing the class under MeasurementInstrument (COPI_0000024) — an accident, not a design choice. Anchoring PropertyMeasurementFunction under InstrumentationFunction makes that placement explicit and correct.
4 Necessary PartsPartes Necessárias

No necessary parts recorded.

Parts named in the differentia are not asserted as necessary_parts: validate_necessary_parts_quotes() requires each part to carry a verbatim source_quote, and these come from the definition of this entry itself rather than from a standard stating a component relationship. Left empty pending expert review.
