[x3d-public] X3DUOM additional attribute 'unit'

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

This is a great idea, thank you Holger. I will think about how the best accomplish that. Seems like a good idea for that information to be included in the X3D Tooltips as well.

Another related piece of information that should already be found in the tooltips hints: whether an  SFTime value is an actual time or a duration.

NPS WARNING: *external sender* verify before acting.


X3DUOM describes the nodes and fields and provides useful information about them. How about to include information about which unit category a field belongs to. For instance there could be a new attribute ‚unit‘ or ‚unitCategory‘ for some fields, which can have a value from standard units or derived units.

Standard Units
https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4Draft/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS.proof/Part01/concepts.html#t-Standardunits

Derived Units

Best regards,
Holger
