Thanks!

Hi, never hear of this before.
Could you please help me understand what exactly you would envision adding/changing in Units.NET to establish a relationship?

I looked quickly and it seems to be trying to solve the same problem as UnitNet. But it's a specification not an implementation. Maybe some interesting concept could be grabbed from it. But I don't see UnitNet as an implementation of QUDT. Would be from what I see a major undertaking.

I have, a while ago, looked into some of the major ontologies (here's the review paper I have bookmarked).

In terms of "stealing-from" - I remember the term measurement scale which I quite liked - here's the related discussion.

Also- as part of some future v5, I've suggested extending the JSON definitions with (optional) links to existing ontological references.

I don't know exactly how this works but I'm guessing there is a use case somewhere for (de)serializing rdf, provided that the reference exists in the UnitInfo.

However I'm yet to discover a single hello world example that communicates with something like a sparql endpoint (such as wiki-data, or even a local store), using anything remotely resembling a POCO (assuming to contain our quantities). If anyone has one available- please, I'd love to check it out.

I'm closing this as no one seems to recognize a concrete feature or change to implement from this. Reopen if someone wants to pursue this further.
