This section includes examples for two types of measurements commonly included in epigraphic editions:

NOTE: it is assumed unless a value is given for unit, that measurements of type length are given in metres.

[<measure type="length" dim="height" value="1.15" unit="metre">1.15</measure> × <measure type="length" dim="width" value="0.76" unit="metre">0.76</measure> × <measure type="length" dim="depth" value="0.285" unit="metre">0.285</measure>]
[<measure type="length" dim="height" value="1.15" precision="circa" unit="metre">1.2</measure> × <measure type="length" dim="width" value="0.76" unit="metre" precision="circa">0.75</measure> × <measure type="length" dim="depth" value="0.285" unit="metre" precision="circa">0.3</measure>]

Gabriel Bodard (16 Mar 2006): There are a couple of important issues with measurements that need to be addressed in order to get our crosswalks to (e.g.) EDH working. (1) is the fact that in EDH the stone dimensions need to (a) be literally numerical, and (b) a single number, not multiple numbers, a range, circa, vel sim.; (letter-heights, on the other hand, can be a text field). (2) is the question of tagging the dimensions within a single element -- I'd strongly suggest <rs type="dimensions"> -- so that it can be extracted by the crosswalk wherever this data appears, even in the teiHeader.
