QUDT does include percent as a unit: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit#Percent Assuming you are using the RDF Data Cube then you can use this as the value of unit of measure attribute (sdmx-attribute:unitMeasure). If you are dealing with single measures or measure-dimension cubes that should be fine. You are using multi-measure observations then life gets harder. In that case you might consider encoding your values as e.g. qudt:QuantityValues and attaching the unit of measure that way. Dave
