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'.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>In many cases, the observed physical property will be sourced from a controlled vocabulary, thesaurus or ontology.<br/><br/>[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])<br/>
