Observation

1 Definition

Act of determining the Value of a Property by interacting in a reproducible way with the Phenomenon using a Sensor.

Notes

  • The result of an Observation is a Value complemented by an Uncertainty, often itself being referred to as 'observation'.
  • An Observation result represents a Sample of the Phenomenon (otherwise it would be identical with the Phenomenon).
