By the way, shouldn&#39;t the &#39;property&#39; of a DV\_QUANTITY end up in the
term\_definition of a node?

from the specifications, it says that must at least include &#39;text&#39; and
&#39;description&#39;, but more can be defined\. For example, the specification
shows:

\[“at4000”\] = &lt;
text = &lt;&quot;plan&quot;&gt;;
description = &lt;&quot;The clinician&#39;s professional advice&quot;&gt;;
provenance = &lt;&quot;ACME\_terminology\(v3\.9a\)&quot;&gt;
>
Why don&#39;t use something like that to put &#39;property&#39; \(or even better,
&#39;semantic group&#39; to be more generic\) and store the property there

\[“at0001”\] = &lt;
text = &lt;&quot;measure&quot;&gt;;
description = &lt;&quot;temperature measure&quot;&gt;;
semantic\_group= &lt;&quot;\[openehr::127\]&quot;&gt; \-\-temperature
