UCUM terminology subset in OMOP-is this a valid construct?

@LeileifromUK

I think OMOP should handle the “standardisation” and conversation internally but allow organisations to submit any “valid” UCUM.

This is a valid idea, and it has been discussed. @Vojtech_Huser has a proposal along that line. We just have to execute and implement it.

@LeileifromUK

including the “conversion” tool, e.g. h to mins

Exactly. That’s missing. The other missing piece is to collect the right unit(s) for all applicable Measurement concepts. Before we can do that, we need to clean up the Measurement concepts.

If this all sounds like a lot of work - it is.

@LeileifromUK

during the interim, our first piece of work has identified some missing ones, is it this place you would like me to share them with you?

Yes please.
