A Dimension represents the [VIM] concept of 'quantity dimension' that is defined as 'expression of the dependence of a quantity on the base quantities of a system of quantities as a product of powers of factors corresponding to the base quantities, omitting any numerical factor.' For example in the ISQ the quantity dimension of 'force' is denoted by dim F = L�M�T^2, where 'F' is the symbol for 'force', and 'L', 'M', 'T' are the symbols for the ISQ base quantities 'length', 'mass' and 'time' respectively. The Dimension of any QuantityKind can be derived through the algorithm that is defined in C.5.3.20 with SystemOfQuantities. The actual Dimension for a given QuantityKind depends on the choice of baseQuantityKind specified in a SystemOfQuantities.
