Class QuantityKind

A Quantity Kind is any observable property that can be measured and quantified numerically (http://qudt.org). Example quantity kinds are "Length", "Time", "Mass", ...

QuantityKinds can be subtypes of other kinds. For example, Length can be seen as a generalization of Distance, Height or Altitude. Vice versa is Distance a subtype of Length.

QuantityKinds cannot be instantiated, but must be retrieved from the QuantityKindRegistry.
