Which ontology of unit of measure shall we use? #10

Closed kuzeko closed 5 years ago

Regarding the ontology of units I went for QUDT because it seems more standard (is W3C member), but I leave the final decision to the domain experts.

There are two options:

  1. Ontology of Units of Measure and Related Concepts
  2. QUTD

Here is some relevant material:

  1. the paper on OM [1] and the reviews of the paper [2]
  2. the official websites [3,4]

Final decision should be reflected in: BEP003

For those of use who aren't familiar with the specs, are there simple examples and/or a comparison of these two systems?

The best experts comments I know are here: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/content/ontology-units-measure-and-related-concepts

I've looked quickly in both formats and it seems that the OM has the "easiest" syntax.

Bo did a review of these ontologies earlier. The OM ontology is much more applicable for our case compared to QUDT. Check here for Unit
