Use codes, not symbols. Then you can use the UN/ECE international standardization of the SI brochure (described in attached), and in schema form at http://www.unece.org/uncefact/codelist/standard/UNECE_MeasurementUnitCommonCode_6.xsd ( Codes for Units of Measure used in International Trade ). You get rid of those 'pesky mu ( µ) for micro' problems, which I'm sure is one of the reasons code lists were invented to begin with -- different languages, fonts, ... And you get a schema. Translation to symbols happens further up the food chain. -A Toby Considine wrote, On 6/15/2011 3:41 PM: 00d301cc2bad$5a1d7bc0$0e587340$@gmail.com type= cite > There has been much back and forth on the final source for * exactly * the correct si prefixes, and multiple sources   Well, at last:   http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/general.html   http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/   and, in particular, the prefixes….   http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter3/prefixes.html   Still no publicly accessibly codelist.   Of course, there is still that pesky mu ( µ) for micro….     Tc   Note that the attached IEC links are for binary (computer stuff) rather than for decadic information “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw.

It's providing codes (as in code list) for many other disciplines in addition, yes (12 categories, about 1600 elements): 1 space and time 2 periodic phenoma 3 mechanics 4 heat 5 electricity and magnetism (starting around element # 962) 6 acoustics 7 physical chemistry and molecular physics 8 atomic and nuclear physics 9 nuclear reactions and ionizing radiations 10 characteristic numbers (dimensionless parameters) 11 solid state physics 12 miscellaneous You didn't look far enough. Attached is the spreadsheet with the other aspects (description, name, symbol, conversion factor, etc). Look on sheet 'Annex 1', beginning row 961. The schema contains all the codes for the elements in this spreadsheet, although not in spreadsheet order. -A Considine, Toby (Campus Services IT) wrote, On 6/16/2011 8:08 PM: 49388A5276025649AC24AF97ADB9DA62839DBE55FD@facmailmb3.facilities.unc.edu type= cite > That is doing something else   < xsd:simpleType name = MeasurementUnitCommonCodeContentType > < xsd:restriction base = xsd:token > < xsd:minLength value = 1 />< xsd:maxLength value = 3 /> < xsd:enumeration value = 05 > < xsd:annotation > < xsd:documentation > < ccts:Name >lift </ ccts:Name > </ xsd:documentation ></ xsd:annotation ></ xsd:enumeration > < xsd:enumeration value = 06 > < xsd:annotation > < xsd:documentation > < ccts:Name >small spray </ ccts:Name > </ xsd:documentation ></ xsd:annotation ></ xsd:enumeration > < xsd:enumeration value = 08 > < xsd:annotation > < xsd:documentation > < ccts:Name >heat lot </ ccts:Name > </ xsd:documentation ></ xsd:annotation ></ xsd:enumeration > < xsd:enumeration value = 10 > < xsd:annotation > < xsd:documentation > < ccts:Name >group </ ccts:Name > </ xsd:documentation ></ xsd:annotation ></ xsd:enumeration > < xsd:enumeration value = 11 > < xsd:annotation > < xsd:documentation > < ccts:Name >outfit </ ccts:Name > </ xsd:documentation ></ xsd:annotation ></ xsd:enumeration > < xsd:enumeration value = 13 > < xsd:annotation > < xsd:documentation > < ccts:Name >ration </ ccts:Name > </ xsd:documentation ></ xsd:annotation ></ xsd:enumeration >   It is the theory that decides what can be observed .    - Albert Einstein Toby Considine Chair, OASIS oBIX Technical Committee U.S. National Inst. of Standards and Tech.
