Measurement is a fundamental feature of science and a practice in which the creativity of scientists is particularly visible. At the same time, the way scientists measure is often not apparent to researchers outside of a discipline or the outside world, because usually only the results of experiments are communicated. Today it is even more relevant to show how scientific measurement is achieved, since measurement has become a fundamental activity for society as a whole–think of measuring complex concepts such as health or safety–especially in the context of big data.
