Description
The semantic definition of **SoilConductivity** reads:
>Thermal conductivity of soil. Generally, within standards such as IEC 60364-5-52, table 52A-16, the resistivity of soil is required (measured in [SI] units of degK.m /W). This is the reciprocal of the conductivity value and needs to be calculated accordingly.
If I am not mistaken, attending to the semantic definition of **SoilConductivity** there seems to be something of a contradiction in some parts of it.
Is it possible that **SoilConductivity** and **"Thermal conductivity of soil"** refer to **resistivity**?
