description: 'The OM ontology provides classes, instances, and properties that represent
  the different concepts used for defining and using measures and units. It includes,
  for instance, common units such as the SI units meter and kilogram, but also units
  from other systems of units such as the mile or nautical mile. For many application
  areas it includes more specific units and quantities, such as the unit of the Hubble
  constant: km/s/Mpc, or the quantity vaselife.  OM defines the complete set of concepts
  in the domain as distinguished in the textual standards. As a result the ontology
  can answer a wider range of competency questions than the existing approaches do.
  The following application areas are supported by OM:  Geometry; Mechanics; Thermodynamics;
  Electromagnetism; Fluid mechanics; Chemical physics; Photometry; Radiometry and
  Radiobiology; Nuclear physics; Astronomy and Astrophysics; Cosmology; Earth science;
  Meteorology; Material science; Microbiology; Economics; Information technology;
  Typography; Shipping; Food engineering; Post-harvest; technology; Dynamics of texture
  and taste; Packaging'
