Types: qudt:QuantityKind

Predicate	Object
`rdf:type`	`qudt:QuantityKind`
`dcterms:description`	“The rate at which information content (Shannon entropy) is conveyed by a source or over a channel: information content per unit time, measured in shannons, nats, or hartleys per second according to the logarithm base. It is an information-theoretic quantity, distinct from quantitykind:DataRate, which counts raw bits transferred per second regardless of their information content; by the source coding theorem the information flow rate of a channel is at most its data rate. ”@en

`rdfs:comment`	“Applicable units are those of quantitykind:InformationFlowRate” “ECLASS models the choice of logarithm base as three separate quantities, so all three of its codes map to this one quantity kind, with the base carried by the unit. Where a single ECLASS code is required, select the one matching the unit in which the quantity is expressed: BAJ464 (base 2) for unit:SHANNON-PER-SEC, BAJ470 (base 10) for unit:HART-PER-SEC, and BAJ471 (base e) for unit:NAT-PER-SEC. ECLASS also qualifies these as a "median" information flow; that is a statistical property of a particular measurement rather than of the quantity kind, so it is not reflected here.
