| Sep 15, 2014 at 9:59 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Is call the first field the dimension and the second the measurement (alternatively, metric and value respectively). | |
| Sep 15, 2014 at 9:54 | comment | added | Roger C S Wernersson | In Swedish I'd say "storhet". It covers them all. | |

| Sep 15, 2014 at 8:10 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | The snag is that the 'physical quantity' senses of length, weight etc are the overall notional non-count usages (eg AHDEL length 1. The state, quality, or fact of being long) [and think of weight is dependent on gravitational force as well as mass] not individual instances (which are of course count) (eg AHDEL length 2. The measurement of the extent of something along its greatest dimension: the length of the boat). One's bank balance is a particular instance of a sum of money. 'Data type / Type of data [to input]' will probably work. | |
