Description of chemical systems by their properties

Proper handling and communication of data on chemical systems require knowl- edge about the mathematical characteristics of different types of property and the unambigu- ous representation of singular properties. Using the terminology of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the concept "property" is generically divided ac- cording to various statistical characteristics of property values. The formatting of representation of dedicated kinds-of-property as elaborated by clin- ical chemists in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) should en- sure correct data transmission between laboratory dialects in any chemical discipline.
