Ken,

These look like and OK start point - but seem very military focused - 
tank rounds and aircraft engine components immediately come to mind!

Rations - (what really makes the Army march!) may have properties that
are missing here!  Such as Energy, Vitamin, Contains, and of course, 
no doubt - just like the W3C datatypes - you can derive more primatives
using the 17 basics..... I'm beginning to wish I'd not asked this question
already!?!

Thanks, DW.
