Dear all:

In general, it's a good habit to always attach a rdfs:label that holds a 
human-readable representation of the value to instances of

	http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#QuantitativeValueFloat
	http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#QuantitativeValueInteger

This will make it easier for clients to render such values.

Example:

# Point value
foo:value1
	a gr:QuantitativeValueFloat ;
	rdfs:label "100 g"
	gr:hasValueFloat "100.0"^^xsd:float ;
       	gr:hasUnitOfMeasurement "GRM"^^xsd:string

# Interval
foo:value2
       	a gr:QuantitativeValueFloat ;
	rdfs:label "10 - 120 g"
       	gr:hasMaxValueFloat "120.0"^^xsd:float ;
       	gr:hasMinValueFloat "10.0"^^xsd:float ;
       	gr:hasUnitOfMeasurement "GRM"^^xsd:string .

The same holds for qualitative values, i.e. instances of

	http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#QualitativeValue

but I assume it's more obvious there, so they will regularly have a 
label anyway.
