Inconsistency between the CCO Modeling Information Doc and Ratio ICE definition? about commoncoreontologies

This makes me wonder what 'range' is entirely, whether it's the function of something. Is the function of a sensor to sense? And the range is just a disposition? Unless the sensor is built specifically to sense range, I wonder whether range is a function. If range is a disposition, which inheres in sensors that have sensing functions, then we definitely want to say we can measure or track information about the sensor. I'm happy to hear others weigh in @APCox @mark-jensen

@PhiBabs935 Yes, the modeling doc is wrong. Probably result of attempting to simplify the complexity of artifact specifications.

The def for 'measurement ICE' is "A Descriptive Information Content Entity that describes the extent, dimensions, quantity, or quality of an Entity relative to some standard."

This makes me wonder if that def excludes measuring dispositions (realizables in generally probably), which we do, esp. with 'nominal measurement ICE'. It's a good catch and needs to discussed further. Clearly we can measure the realization of functions, but "extent, dimensions, quantity, or quality" does not seem to apply to the function itself.
