An 'observable property' is a physical property that can be observed. Typically, this will be a quantitative property (Quantity [1]) such as 'dew-point temperature'. This abstract class enables either a single physical property to be specified or a composite observable property that aggregates a set of physical properties for a given observation context. In many cases, the observed physical property will be sourced from a controlled vocabulary, thesaurus or ontology. [1] Quantity: property of a phenomenon, body, or substance, where the property has a magnitude that can be expressed as a number and a reference (from the 'International vocabulary of metrology' [http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/documents/jcgm/JCGM_200_2008.pdf])

Element	Source Role	Target Role
CompositeObservableProperty Class	Name:	Name: property The association role 'property' references an observable physical property. The observable physical property may be defined in-line or sourced from an external controlled vocabulary, thesaurus or ontology.
Details:

Tag	Value
byValuePropertyType	false
Details: Values: true,false Default: false Description: Create a property type that requires that the instance is encoded inline (applies to ISO 19136:2007 encoding rule). Always set to false in INSPIRE.
isCollection	false
Details: Values: true,false Default: false Description: Identifies the type as an object collection.
noPropertyType	false
Details: Values: true,false Default: false Description: Surpress creation of a standard property type that supports inline or by-reference encoding (applies to ISO 19136:2007 encoding rule). Always set to false in INSPIRE.
