| Documentation | Definition of a unit of measure which is defined through algebraic combination of more primitive units, which are usually base units from a particular system of units. Derived units based directly on base units are usually preferred for quantities other than the base units or fundamental quantities within a system. If a derived unit is not the preferred unit, the ConventionalUnit element should be used instead. |
