Task/s:This bot will add string representations of units of measurement to units of measurement Wikidata pages.

Code:The Python project on the "Units of Measurement Interoperability Service" (UMIS), that this bot will support/enable, is athttps://github.com/usnistgov/nist_umis .

Function details:String representations of different units of measurement are being aligned to allow translation between different unit representation systems. As the developer of the UMIS, I have concluded that Wikidata is the best place to organize/align unit representation strings. Once available at nist.gov later this year, the UMIS website will offer additional functionality to enable users to programmatically translate between unit of representation systems, and additional functionality is planned. There are already Wikidata properties for some of the unit representation systems (e.g.QUDT) and additional ones will be requested. This is my first bot permission request so if more info is needed please let me know.--Stuart Chalk (talk)16:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
