Basically, 850 or so of common measurement units in mostly the medical domain.

I would suggest you have a lot of support for the underlying unit in things like 'millilitre per litre' concentration measurements, but there would also be others that not so easily recognized.

Even if it were just a wiki page illustrating the current capabilities vs UCUM measurement units, that would be useful.

Use cases:

  • Comparison of medical tests that are typed to LOINC (repository of specific medical tests/methodologies) in different but standard units
  • Drug dose calculations
