Unit measure

Unit in which the data values are expressed.

The unit of measure is a quantity or increment by which something is counted or described, such as kg, mm, C, F, monetary units such as Euro or US dollar, simple number counts or index numbers. The unit of measure has a type (e.g. currency) and, in connection with the unit multiplier, provides the level of detail for the value of the variable. For data messages, the concept is usually represented by codes. For metadata messages the concept is usually represented by free text.
