Data Type

Name

Explanation

BOOLEAN

Represents Boolean algebraic values
In serializations, the format (YES NO) could be used.
Example: Yes

DATE

Represents values which are containing date.
In serializations, the format yyyy-mm-dd according ISO 8601-1:2019 could be used.
Example: 1979-01-15

STRING

A finite sequence of symbols that are chosen from a set or alphabet […] a sequence of characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)). Cannot be translated into other languages.

Example: DN 700 ; 10 Mbps

STRING_TRANSLATABLE

A finite sequence of symbols that are chosen from a set or alphabet […] a sequence of characters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science).

Values for translatable string type Properties are required to each have an ISO 639-1 language assigned and may be further specialized by adding country identification.
Examples: "red" (language: English) ; "grey" (language: English, country: United Kingdom) ; "Aluminum" (language: German).
Note: ISO 639-2 defines a couple of exceptions that can be used in edge cases:

• "undetermined" language (code: und)

• "no linguistic content" language (code: zxx)

• "multiple languages" language (code: mul)

INTEGER_COUNT

Data Type which represents some finite subset of the mathematical integers. These are also known as integral Data Types. Used only for counting. (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science

).
Example: 1 ; 10 ; 111

INTEGER_MEASURE

Data Type which represents some finite subset of the mathematical integers. These are also known as integral Data Types. Used for measuring in a specific Unit of Measure. (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science

).
Example: 1 ; 10 ; 111

RATIONAL

To represent rational numbers like 1/3 and -11/17 without rounding (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

).
Example: 1/3 ; 1 2/3

RATIONAL_MEASURE

To represent rational numbers like 1/3 and -11/17 without rounding (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_data_type

). Used for elements that are measures of type RATIONAL (i.e. expressed in a specific unit of measure)
Example: 1/3 ; 1 2/3

REAL_CURRENCY

A rational number expressed in decimal representation (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

). Used for measuring in a specific currency.
Example: 1,5 ; 102,35

REAL_MEASURE

A rational number expressed in decimal representation (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

). Used for measuring in a specific Unit of Measure.
Example: 1,5 ; 102,35

REFERENCE

Represents a reference to a Block or Application Class

URL

Represents Values according to ISO 13584-24:2003
Example:

TIME

Represents Values which are containing time
In serializations, the format hh:mm according ISO 8601-1:2019 could be used.
Example: 12:45

TIMESTAMP

Represents Values which are containing timestamp (i.e. date and time)
In serializations, the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm according ISO 8601-1:2019
Example:
1979-01-15T12:45:00Z

AXIS1

According to ISO 10303 axis1_placement is the direction and location in three-dimensional space of a single axis and is defined by a point (first three numbers) and an axis direction (last three numbers).

AXIS2

According to ISO 10303 axis2_placement_2d is the location and orientation in two-dimensional space of two mutually perpendicular axes defined by a point (first two numbers) and an axis (last two numbers).

AXIS3

According to ISO 10303 axis2_placement_3d is the location and orientation in three-dimensional space of two mutually perpendicular axes defined by a point (first three numbers) and two axes (middle and last three numbers).
