Comment @Thibdx: Can you please comment on why you feel we need this in addition to electrical conductivity (P2055)? ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:58, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. Many datasheets give the resistivity and not the conductivity. This depends if the material is aimed at conducting or isolating. I don't know if we should ask the users to make the conversion between the 2 values. Many contributors would just know well the set of 15 materials properties they are using in them job and only copy the others. It is very probable that 90% of the mechanical engineers not dealing with electric problems in them jobs just don't even know that they could make the conversion. -- Thibdx (talk) 14:38, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support Ok, that makes sense. By the way, they are "inverse" properties in the sense of one being the numeric inverse of the other, not "inverse" in the bidirectional sense we often see in wikidata. In this case I agree there's some reason to have it. Thanks. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:01, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
