Definition
value expression that is an interval for values of a particular entity
Explanatory Notes
A range value expression represents the interval itself, not the individual values within the interval. The interval is used to interpret, prescribe, or evaluate values associated with a specified entity. The exact meaning of the interval depends on the more specific subclass or use context. For example, the interval may represent a target range, a normal operating range, or a proven acceptable range.
Examples
- 36.5–37.5 °C as the normal operating range around the setpoint 37 °C for bioreactor temperature during mammalian cell culture; pH 6.5–7.5 as the proven acceptable range for culture medium pH during fermentation
Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
Insufficient constructs are present to create necessary and sufficient conditions. In particular, constructs required to fully formalize intervals are currently under development in IOF Core.

RangeValueExpression(x) → ValueExpression(x)
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘range value expression’ then x is a ‘value expression’
