Description of Collaborative Activity: |
NLM works with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to promote the use of UCUM as a replacement for ISO-8000. NLM develops, disseminates, and facilitates adoption of universal standards (e.g., Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM) so that clinical measures reported in different units by different institutions can be converted to a single unit of measure. We have also developed a web-based open source tool to enable the conversion of units of measure to standard machine-readable format using UCUM. |
