COMMONS12 — Need an ontology representing multidimensional arrays

This is needed for representation of tensor and vector quantities for the quantities and units ontology, and for representation of certain machine learning algorithms, among other requirements.

Significant research is required to complete this ontology and related work on tensor and vector quantities

The work to complete this resolution requires testing with the SysML v2 library of quantities and units, and may ultimately result in additional changes to the approach taken to represent quantities in general. This has been a significant effort to date, including a number of contributors who created the corresponding artifacts for SysML v2. We believe more care needs to be taken to test any resulting ontology and reference library, which is planned over the coming months.

Because some of the other work on the Commons 1.2 specification was more urgently needed, we elected to defer this until the Commons 1.3 RTF.
