ontology for units of measurement and/or physical quantities

Hello,

I am interested in the problem of communicating physical quantities,
e.g. between a web service and its client.
I am sure there has been a lot of work on that,
so there seems no need for me to reinvent this wheel.
Googling brings up a lot of hits on different ideas,
but I can't tell what has really been put into practice.
What is common practice for this problem at present?
Any light you can shed on this question would be greatly appreciated.
