Test Unit Annotation Web Service

EDI Units Working Group, 2023

This form can be used for testing our ability to link raw unit names with descriptions in an ontology (https://qudt.org) and to use them to generate <annotation> elements for potential use in EML documents. This page is the front-end of a web service that can be embedded in other code (e.g., R or Python programs). You can access the web service directly at: https://www.vcrlter.virginia.edu/data/test_unitsws1.php, or observe the URL at the top of the page after you've done a search.
