1.0.0-rc1: Please add relations of ISQBaseQuantites to the corresponding SIBaseUnits #305

Open markdoerr opened 2 weeks ago

markdoerr commented 2 weeks ago

Dear @jesper-friis and @emanueleghedini,

in the current 1.0.0 release candidate there is no relation between the ISQBaseQuantites to the corresponding SIBaseUnits, which is unfortunate, since it would allow a lot of applications, which are currently not easy to realise.

Why would that be important ?

If the quantities of a measurement are known (which is the common case), one could derive / query the corresponding SIBaseUnit. This extra linkage would make the unit definitions much more useful in practical applications, since it allows direct access to (standard) units from measurement descriptions without the need to specify in which standard unit the measurement would be expressed.

How could this look like ?

Example:

emmo:Length emmo:hasSIBaseUnit emmo:metre

etc.
