Hi João, The OSG coordinates system is governed by the data you pass it, so if your data is in inches then a unit of 1 will be 1 inch. Certain parts of the OSG are built around metres though - the EllipsoidModel used for whole earth applications/terrain is in metres. This means if you build a geocentric database with osgEarth or VirtualPlanetBuilder they will have databases in metres.
Another area where the OSG loosely assumes metres is the the osgGA::DriveManipulator - it's height above the terrain assumes the units are in metres. So... in general I'd guess most OSG applications will be in metres, but there isn't a strict requirement in most parts of the OSG, it'll quite happily just handle whatever units you pass in and is mostly unit agnostic.
