indirect_property

An <indirect_property> is a <relationship> between a <property> and a <possible_individual>. The nature of the <indirect_property> is defined by its <classification> by a <class_of_indirect_property>.
A property is indirect when it does not directly apply to the <possible_individual> it applies to, but is derived from some process.
NOTE A property is indirect because it does not directly apply. There can only be one temperature that a thing has (at a time), so a Maximum Allowable Working Temperature is not its temperature, but an indirect property derived from doing some tests or calculations to determine its value (as opposed to it being a current measurement). This is what makes it indirect.
EXAMPLE A Maximum Allowable Working Pressure of 50 BarA for V101 is specified by an <indirect_property> between the pressure of 50 BarA and V101, classified by the <class_of_indirect_property> Maximum Allowable Working Pressure.
