It shows that measurement is applied in a wide range of diverse domains of domains of knowledge and enquiry for which a widesense definition of measurement is necessary. It examines philosophical objections to the application of measurement. It considers problems of measurand concept formation, It examines problems presented by widely-defined measurements requiring further study.
