thanks for the report. There was a bug in the ACE->OWL/SWRL
translator. The fix will be included in the next release of APE. Such
sentences will now be rejected with an error message
"kg: Measurement nouns are not supported." as OWL and SWRL do not have
built-in support for measurement units.

I think there exist some proposals for conventions of how to specify
measurement units in OWL. One of these conventions could be supported
in ACE->OWL/SWRL but I haven't taken a closer look. I'm interested in
ideas about what "Peter owns 3 kg of apples ." could be mapped to.
