This term is currently a descendant of 'information content entity', which requires that it 'is about' something. A value specification of '20g' for a measurement data item of the mass of a particular mouse 'is about' the mass of that mouse. However there are cases where a value specification is not clearly about any particular. In the future we may change 'value specification' to remove the 'is about' requirement.

value specification

The value of 'positive' in a classification scheme of "positive or negative"; the value of '20g' on the quantitative scale of mass.
