Help talk:Custom units
From semanticweb.org
- What are the in-built units of SMW?
- Is there an existing database/ontology of the most common units? 217.117.47.110 16:09, 18 August 2006 (CEST)
- You can search for the implemented Types using this link. You can look for the implemented units within the according articles. SMW doesn't support all kind of units - instead each type has another parser which does the unit handling - therefore a Lenght-Type will always be ie. metre or inch - but never a vector.
- Thanks for this link - if I understand correct (from looking at the SMW source code), the base types are DateTime, Float, GeoCoords, Integer and URI, while the others are all derived types.
- For the sake of completeness are there any plans to add enumeration types, tuples, lists and sets? Philip 11:59, 6 September 2006 (CEST)
- If you look for a unit-Database you might best look at the original [http;//en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia] - for an ontology see the physics-subsection of my development-version Semantic MathML/0.1 (beware: I'm unhappy with it and will replace it with a new version anytime in the future) or better the SUMO Ontology. Anyway, the best Ontology for this purpose might be NASA's SWEET Ontology.

- Thanks for the unit databases. I see things are still in a state of flux... Philip 11:59, 6 September 2006 (CEST)
