- Units ML
- UnitsML is a project underway at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a schema for encoding scientific units of measure in XML. Furthermore, a registry containing
extensive information about scientific units is under development.
- There is a Draft Schema for Units ML
- AnIML
- An international effort to standardize analytical information management using XML-based standards
- Minutes of AnIML Working Group of ASTM Committee E13.15
7-8 July, 2004, ASTM Headquarters, Philadelphia, PA, contain:
6. UNITS. The intention of E13.15 has been to adopt a standard for units from the appropriate standards
organization. Such a standard has not yet been published, and so cannot be incorporated at this point.
This NIST group doesn’t appear ready to release a UnitsML any time soon. Peter Murray-Rust plans
to release a version soon. Maren found a commercial site for unit conversion, with over 1000 units,
but some which we need are missing. Consensus: AnIML will continue to use the units mechanism
defined in earlier core and technique definitions.
