DerivedUnit

DerivedUnit 1 identifier 1 2 name 0..* 2 derivationUnitTerm 1..* Definition Derived units are defined by combination of other units. Derived units are used for quantities other than those corresponding to the base units, such as hertz (s-1) for frequency, Newton (kg.m/s2) for force. Derived units based directly on base units are usually preferred for quantities other than the fundamental quantities within a system. If a derived unit is not the preferred unit, the gml:ConventionalUnit element should be used instead. ISO Legend Possible Parent Elements Please contribute!
