Re: [ontology-summit] Progressing a Units Ontology - Now

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@xxxxxxxxx>]

Everyone:

I am pretty amazed by this thread so far.  It seems that everyone agrees it is important work, it is not difficult from a technical perspective and highly probable that many industries will find such work useful.  There are a lot of great ideas put forward too.

Maybe this is a perspective not shared by all but I would also aver that this may present a great opportunity for this group to do some tactical ontology work.
