What is it?
UOMo adds Units of Measurement support to IT Systems for Data and Services.
This project has been provisioned. You can see the proposal here
Motivation
Developers frequently encounter the need to model units of measurement, because objects in the real world are subject to these measures. When working with units, developers need to understand the mathematics of units, how to convert between systems, and how to format and parse string representations of units. Most of this work can be consolidated into one or two Java packages, which is a primary aim of this project. This project will help developers create safe, correct software to deal with common problem of modeling units.
Data
- Basic implementation of UCUM System for use in any context
- Help to incorporate units into W3C standard MathML
- Support OASIS standard Units Markup Language (UnitsML)
Services
- Strong Unit Typing (Compile time support)
- HL7 Services
- Financial API based on general Units of Measurement implementation
The focus of the project is on Java implementations, but other languages both on a JVM or other platforms will be supported as appropriate, desired and/or contributed.
