Units Markup Language (UnitsML)
UnitsML was a project underway to develop a schema for encoding scientific units of measure
in XML. A database (UnitsDB) containing extensive information
about scientific units was developed to accompany the schema.
An OASIS
Technical Committee was created to address any needed changes in the schema and publish a final recommendation.
