UNECE Units of measure

Standardised codes from Recommendation 20, mantained by UNECE.

Data

Data comes from the Excel file, merging Annex I and Annex II/III. It doesn't include units marked as deprecated and removed.

Preparation

• levels.csv is derived from the latest pdf available (Section VII) and explains the categories of the main dataset
• From the Excel spreadsheet we have merged the two Annexes to have the sector and the codes in the same file, removing the symbol and conversion factor columns; entries marked as deprecated (D) or deleted (X) have been removed.

Usage via Jitpack

Jitpack is a service that packages github repositories on-the-fly when you request an archive for the first time and the caches the result.

JVM / Android

The package can be used as a compile-time dependency for JVM / Andriod projects through https://jitpack.io.

1. Add the https://jitpack.io repository to your build (Maven, Gradle, …)
2. Add the dependency com.github.datasets:unece-units-of-measure:<name-of-the-tag>
   Example: com.github.datasets:unece-units-of-measure:rec20_Rev13e_2017

See the jitpack documentation for further details.

Zip download

Because .jar files are in essence just normal .zip files, it is perfectly possible to use the jitpack artifact as a zip file source for non-JVM usage.
