Toward Standardized Digital Representations of Units of Measurement

CODATA logo

The Committee on Data (CODATA) of the Paris-based International Science Council promotes open data policies, working to advance the interoperability and usability of research data. The Committee is committed to supporting FAIR data principles to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets.

Within the CODATA organizational umbrella, Unidata software developer Steven Emmerson has joined the Digital Representation of Units of Measure (DRUM) Task Group, which aims to raise the profile of the digital representation of units of measure in research communities, representative and governing bodies, and with funders. DRUM takes the position that support for consistent digital representations of units of measurement is of far-reaching importance for science, technology, industry, and trade.

This week, COMET has announced that the University Course Support resource has added the capability to download images and animations associated with the MetEd lessons. Instructors can now easily integrate these resources into their own lectures and presentations. All graphics and media items are free for reuse for noncommercial, educational purposes.
