This ontology defines a set of properties which may be used for reprenting physical quantities. Each is an RDF Property which realtes a quantity to a number which expreses the quantity in that expressed that quntity in the given unit. :bed ex:length _:a. _a: m 2. Property chaining is the equivalent of unit multiplication. Inverse properties correspond to reciprocal units. Because conventional signs for units are very case-sensitive, this ontology breaks from the normal convention that all property localnames begin with lowercase.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier C is used to demonstrate the providers available for An Ontology for Units of Measure. Some providers may use a different example, which is displayed in the table below. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.
