Bring back definition of `UO:unit` to its original definition #1871

Open l-emele opened 3 days ago

Description of the issue

We imported unit from Units Ontology but changed its definition that it can also encompass non-physical units like currency.

Ideas of solution

Briefly discussed at OEO dev meeting 82:

Bring back original definition of UO:unit
Use our adapted definition[^1] for UO:unit for a new class OEO:unit.
Add new class OEO:physical unit and make it equivalent to UO:unit.
Make OEO:currency a subclass of OEO:unit

[^1]: A unit of measurement is a standardised quantity of a quantifiable entity

Workflow checklist

[ ] I discussed the issue with someone else than me before working on a solution
[ ] I already read the latest version of the workflow for this repository
[ ] The goal of this ontology is clear to me

I am aware that

[ ] every entry in the ontology should have a definition
[ ] classes should arise from concepts rather than from words
