Types in this commons are generally-applicable units. They include some compound value types such as Rectangle Size and Dated Money Value, and more traditional units and their dimensions (which can be used for unit-valued properties on other types).

For a unit type to be usable for other properties, its dimension must be an instance of Common Dimension, and it must have a value for its “Canonical Abbreviation” property.
