Established in 2022, the Units team is working to identify a modern, community-driven replacement for an existing unit registry based on a MySql database and PHP web services. The WG has identified QUDT as an appropriate framework for listing and describing units in ecological metadata, and is working to identify the best approaches to incorporating QUDT services and metadata into Ecological Metadata Language (EML) metadata records.
