I am interested because I think a basic reference ontology for
'quantity' is needed. According to the International Vocabulary for
Measurement (VIM)
http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/guides/vim.html
'measurement unit' is one class in that ontology, and it is a subtype of
'quantity'. Further, standardized instances of 'measurement unit'
belong to a 'system of measurements' which is intimately related to a
taxonomic decomposition of 'quantity'. So I think the 'basic quantity
ontology' is inseparable from an 'ontology for units of measure'. (04)

It makes sense that NIST should lead -- the NIST participants should
take that up offline. (06)

I will try to attend, but I have a likely conflict from 1300-1500 EDT. (08)

I have said my piece above. I would rather listen to others. (010)

I have a sketch (UML diagrams with definitions) built for another (now
dubious) project, which I will upload. (012)
Surely this must also have been addressed in Cyc and DOLCE and BSO. (013)
