I think this is a good point, and I think we should add odometer as an IBA. It means roughly in Greek 'the measurement of a path,' so although it works using time, the spinning of wheels, etc, it's ultimately a measurement of the distance traveled. Different odometers use different methods for calculating that distance, but the distance is the core measurement the artifact is designed to capture. I'm not sure about committing to the temporal part of spatio-temporal.
Draft definition: "An Odometer is an Information Bearing Artifact that is designed to bear some Information Content Entity that measures the distance an entity has traveled." Should we add that it measures the distance of the entity it is attached to? Should we say anything about the means by which is measures? Not sure, happy to start the conversation.
An odometer definitely bears a Measurement Artifact Function, but does the definition of Distance Measurement Artifact Function fit? "A Measurement Artifact Function that is realized during events in which an Artifact is used to measure the spatial Distance to a specified object or class of objects."
If this issue gets discussion, I would be happy to advocate this to be added to the upcoming 1.5 release with the changes to the relations.
I'll think further on current design patterns recommendations in lieu of this term.

Good enough, but "distance an entity has traveled" could reuse terms in the CCO lexicon, like "distance of some spatial region that was the location of some Act of Location Change"? maybe that's too clunky.
I take it a car's odometer would be paradigmatic. Would someone say that our definition includes pedometers for lack of specific differences to distinguish the two?

I would imagine that we'd want to leave it open what measurement unit is and what was the mechanism for deriving its measure. I don't need it to be more specific. What do you have in mind?

I think so. Do you hesitate?

I am tempted to draw a diagram, but I also am somewhat unsure.
Related point: is the mileage just the ICE? Or is the mileage what the ICE measures? I am getting ambiguity in definitions online. Some say it is the calculation or it is the number, whereas others describe it as the distance or path. I would think that mileage is what is measured. If I am correct, then, an odometer measures mileage (or kilometer equivalent) traveled, and mileage is distance along a path.

We could use that or something similar, that there's a path way, or 2d or 3d region that the car traveled. Do we want to restrict odometers to vehicles and not pedometers, maybe a pedometer is more specific, a subclass of odometer? We could just say odometers measure bfo:objects in the definition and call it there.

Seems like mileage is the value of the measurement. We don't say 25-mileage as if mileage is a unit, but it's the thing that the measurement value is. 25 is the 1025 is the mileage which is measured by the unit 'mile'.
