Create an SI Unit base type

Closed this issue · 3 comments

The library should include a standard type for an SI Unit which decomposes a given unit into baseunits:

  • Kind of base-unit
  • Prefix of base-unit (mili, femto, ...)
  • Exponent of base-unit (denominator, squared, ...)

This is heavily inspired by the SBML definition of units.

As discussed, the units should also be signed with Units Ontology (UO)!

Is this maybe also linked to #19 ?

This issue is partially resolved by #19 but we may also need to think about an SIUnit custom data type provided by the library. Hence, I will keep it open.
