Description
Basic type for specifying measures and the system of measurement. A decimal value (e.g., 10.25) is meaningful as a measure when accompanied by a definition of the unit of measure (e.g., Pounds), in which case the value specifies the quantity of that unit. A MeasureType expresses both the value (a decimal) and, optionally, the unit and the system of measurement. Details such as shipping weights are specified as measure types.
