Hi Sandor,

Thanks for organising an interesting meeting.  I think we covered a lot 
of ground.

One point that struck me was your point about measurements and, in 
particular, about the units.  This reminded me of the Digital 
Representation of Units of Measurement (DRUM) project, from CODATA:

DRUM have produced an inventory technologies to do with units:

This inventory lists several ontologies for handling units.

Perhaps this is of interest.

Cheers,
Paul.
