Is there any value in considering / is there a convenient time to consider off-loading the physical units specification to UnitsML? Not abruptly, of course, but say in OM3 the old units CDs could be deprecated at the same time the new grammar is introduced? Units are still looked up in a catalog, of course, but someone ELSE maintains the catalog. Someone like NIST in the US.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=unitsml FYI, the UnitsML Technical committee is looking for members because right now the US's NIST dominates the TC. Your (plural, as in "you all's") experience with units use in OM could be quite valuable. And units have a somewhat broader applicability than just in math expressions. ;) Bryce _______________________________________________ Om mailing list [email protected] http://openmath.org/mailman/listinfo/om
