I am assuming that you may have more info about the unit. If that is true,
then you probably want to go w/ method 1, where the UUID of the unit points
to a real object.
In general it comes down to this - you want to associate the article with a
unit. If you plan on having a Unit content object type, then method 1 makes
sense, because units will have more info.
If your units only exist as simple strings, then metadata would work fine.
Does that make sense?
