Hi. For several years I've been interested in using Double Entry Bookkeeping to record source scientific data. I'm finally making good progress.
I've been working on a specification of conventions that extend ledger journal syntax so that it works for non-financial, scientific data. Amazingly (thank you John!!) I seem to be able to use ledger without any modifications to generate all sorts of useful reports re state, flow and other attributes of a system under study. There is still a lot of work to do however. One thing I now need is the ability to record a transaction time down to fractions of a second. My current thought is to clone a copy of ledger and try modifying it so that it can use the ISO 8601 date-time format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) which supports fractions of seconds in addition to several alternative syntaxes for date and time encoding. I was wondering if anyone else had a suggestion on how to proceed on this before I dig in. I don't program much any more so I'm interested in any suggestions folks have on how to proceed.
