The QUDT vocab is too heavy weight for his needs. He may have something else to add to this. Semantic interoperability for the Web of things makes it necessary to address units of measure. The Web of things Interest Group has created a task force to work on linked data and semantic processing. An investigation into units of measure is one of the topics the task force is expected to work on, and I expect this to involve reaching out and coordinating with a broad range of groups. Some things to discuss include: - a means to identify both the units of measure and the scale factor using a single RDF node - a means to derive the units of measure and scale factor as separate RDF nodes - a means to relate the units of measure to the physical quantity it refers to (e.g. electrical current) - agreements on short and long names for use in JSON based thing descriptions (mA vs milliamperes) - agreements on how units of measure can be grouped into meaningful modules The Web of Things Interest Group is keen to welcome new members to help with this work. If you’re interested, please get in touch with me. Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett W3C lead for the Web of things
