Standardizing Units for Measurement

CDM Builders

quick reply to your points

  1. you need a triplet. lab test, bad unit, preferred unit (and what you propose only takes a pair)
  2. this is almost solved. But there is one field missing (it has been submitted to CDM repo) (orig. units I think)
  3. there is AoU knowledge base for that. (I posted that link on the forum). N3C has also their solution to that (maybe also posted publicly somewhere)
  4. Clair knows that this is something I am super motivated to submit PRs to DQD for. It was not on recent priority shortlist. I think that this item is the best way to nudge the network little by little. Super motivated for this fourth item.
