I am the lead ontologist for QUDT and the NASA QUDT Handbook being produced (using SWP and LaTeX generators) from release 2 of QUDT. This release is substantially larger, having all of ISO 80000 domains.
Currently we are in an editorial review of the handbook at NASA HQ. After that there will be a technical review within NASA. In the next 2 to 3 weeks we will be releasing a subset of release 2 for beta testing. A presentation on QUDT was recently made at PDE2013 - see http://www.scribd.com/doc/144117099/The-NASA-QUDT-Quantities-Units-Dimensions-and-Data-Types-Handbook-and-Ontologies-–-A-Model-Based-Foundation-for-Quantitative-Data-Alignment-and-E I note your question on OWL-DL compliance. This is hard to do when SKOS is in the mix. Why do you need OWL-DL compliance? What kind of inferencing do you have the need for? If its simply for integrity checks on the models, we have ways of doing that using SPIN.
