Analogously, a property representing a measured quantity can be related to a *unit of measure*.

The documentation behind this link is not maintained anymore. We should replace the link with one of the options (at least that's what I found):

I honestly don't know where the @Semantics annotations are specified.

Where is the difference between @Semantics.currencyCode and @Semantics.amount.currencyCode, if there is any?

@Semantics.currencyCode declares that the annotated element is a currency [code]
@Semantics.amount.currencyCode relates an annotated element, the amount, to the element that holds the currency [code] for this amount

These annotations determine how the backend (i.e. CAP) should aggregate values.
That is true for @Semantics.amount.currencyCode, but not for @Semantics.currencyCode. The latter can appear on a currency field like "Preferred currency of a customer", even in the absence of any amount fields.

@agoerler If there is no perfect fit, I think it's fair to think about documenting it ourselves. But that would be some effort, right? Who should be involved? I guess it's not just about duplicating the RAP docs, or?

What about
Would this be a standard conform way to express the same intent?

No, @Measure.ISOCurrency targets an amount and its value is the currency.
@Semantics.currency targets a currency and its value is a Boolean.

I thought as "replacement" for @Semantics.amount.currencyCode, which targets an amount and references the currency property.
As discussed with @agoerler.
