-This module provides functionality to describe and reason about units of measure attached to numerical values. Transparent conversion between compatible units (e.g. lengths, time intervals, etc) is provided as well as explicit conversion methods. Full backwards compatibility is ensured by treating values without units as being in the respective SI base units (which, by convention, was used so far). It is based on a large, standard [http://qudt.org/ measurement units ontology] by NASA.+This module provides functionality to describe and reason about units of measure attached to numerical values.
