When data gets shared among multiple parties it is important that a
ubiquitous language is used to describe the data and its meaning.
Antenna efficiency can be measured in different ways so the phrase
"antenna efficiency is 20%" can mean different things to different
people. All it takes is one person to ask how antenna efficiency is
calculated and it will become evident that context of "antenna
efficiency is 20%" does not provide all the information required.
Sure it does. Antenna efficiency is only calculated one way,
so there is no need to add extra "metadata".
Funny thing, when working parabolic antennas antenna efficiency and
aperture efficiency are used interchangeably.
Regisered User and some other guy arrive at a gas station at the same time.
Other guy: "Fill'er up."
Regisered User: "Remove the gas cap, that is the covering device on the gas
tank, that is the tank, which is an enclosure, which holds the gasoline for
this car, that is a private passenger vehicle, and dispense gasoline from
your pump, that is the mechanism that dispenses gasoline, into the tank,
that is the tank intended to hold gasoline, until the fluid, in this case
gasoline, level, which is the fluid air, which is 78.1% nitorgen, 20.9%
oxygen, 0.9% argon and less than .1% other trace gases, interface, which
forms because we are on a planet with positive gravity, reaches the top,
that is the uppper most part, of the gasoline tank which holds the gasoline."
This is followed by a 20 minute dissertation on which way to turn the gas
cap to get it on and off, an explanation of how the percentages of the
various gasses than make up air are measured, the origin and history of
the gallon, and the value of the dollar relative to a loaf of bread in 1937.
