      Hi Ed,<br>
      <br>
      Thanks for these comments and before anyone gets the wrong idea
      let me state emphatically that Part Edition 3 is NOT, NOT, NOT
      planning to define any units. We are only looking at what might
      become possible if URI's are allowed in the Part 21 standard.<br>
      <br>
      One option for the relevant committees is to keep the status quo
      and demand that all units are defined from first principles as is
      currently the case in all the STEP Application Protocols. Thus
      every time an inch is used it must be defined as being 25.4
      millimeters.  (As an aside I wonder what would happen if a file
      defined an inch as 25.3 millimeters. Would the software notice?
      Would it follow through and convert all the units by the given
      formula. Would the result be a correct model? What about the
      accuracy constraints? Has STEP been consistent about applying the
      conversion across all the cases?)<br>
      <br>
      The second option is to use URL's. This is the option that is
      being most actively investigated by the P21 e3 group. This option
      is currently running into several small issues with respect to
      conversion based units. As I understand it the issues are derived
      from problems in the PLIB expression schema, but on a more
      personal level I have always thought it crazy to encode
      expressions in the PLIB expression schema.<br>
      <br>
      This started me thinking about the URN option in more detail. As I
      understand it a URN is used when the systems are expected to
      "know" the definition.<br>
      <br>
      Hence I wonder why we cannot define<br>
      <br>
      <urn:iso:inch><br>
      <br>
      In the context of an AP242 file this would mean the current
      definition only with the conversion GUARANTEED to be 25.4. For an
      OWL system it would be whatever OWL systems expect and so on. It
      is a URN so nothing has to be at the other end of the definition,
      but something could be so STEP could say this URN is defined by
      the definitions at the following URL (which can then be as complex
      as any standards organization can imagine).<br>
      <br>
      I really wonder what the advantage of a convoluted URN such as <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">urn:iso:std:iso:31:term:metre</span> 
      might be. Does this mean that different standards groups are going
      to define different metres?<br>
      <br>
      There is also the practical issue for system implementors of what
      to do if someone types the URN's slightly wrong which increases as
      the URN gets longer. <br>
      <br>
      As an implementor <urn:iso:inch> seems just about acceptable
      because there is very small possibility that we will want to have
      two definitions for inch in STEP files - one defined by ISO and
      another defined by Martians <urn:mars:inch>. A more
      practical example might be the definition of pint which is
      different between the UK <urn:iso:uk:pint> and the USA
      <urn:iso:usa:pint>. I can see that ISO might shy away from
      making this kind of distinction, but in this case can STEP should
      define its own name space <urn:step:inch> for its own STEP
      files.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks for your attention. If we are going to have to write URN's
      that are as long and convoluted as the URL's then we may as well
      stick with the URL's, so I am hoping there is a better solution.<br>
      <br>

              And so on for all the units that the standards want to

              these units (but there could be). Software systems would
              be expected to "know" them from the URN and that would
              include knowing how to convert between them. <br>
              <br>
              (Without benefit of a conversion based expression - oh my
              gosh what will happen if there is an apocalypse and the
              only people left are idiot savant nerds who only know how

              units except the ones stored in the NIST library which was
              the only building in Washington to survive the catastrophe

              <br>
              only as a side remark. During our IFC (ISO16739)
              developments we faced the same issue - a derived unit
              involving factor and offset cannot be defined with the
              current conversion_based_unit.<br>
              <br>
              So we added a subtype to IFC4, which essentially defines
              the same, as the proposed extension here for P41.<br>
              See <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4/final/html/link/ifcconversionbasedunitwithoffset.htm">http://www.buildingsmart-tech.org/ifc/IFC4/final/html/link/ifcconversionbasedunitwithoffset.htm</a><br>
              <br>
              One important consideration: you need to determine,
              whether to apply the offset before or after applying the
              factor. We decided to apply it after.<br>
              <br>
              hope it gives another insight,<br>

                          The use of the PLIB schema for expressions has
                          never been very satisfactory because the
