Definitions for the QTY logical model.

Guidance on how to interpret the contents of this table can be found here.

1. QTY
Definition

is an abstract generalization for all data types (1) whose value set has an order relation (less-or-equal) and (2) where difference is defined in all of the data type's totally ordered value subsets. The quantity type abstraction is needed in defining certain other types, such as the interval and the probability distribution.
