In some cases, attributes in {{rml]}} are defined by physical units. All employed units are listed in Category:Unit. A historic overview can be found under Dev:CommonDataTypes.

Generally the attributes are defined via SI units (Wiki banner.png). But there are exceptions for well established non-SI units. E.g. in <diesel>, the fuelCapacity of a diesel engine is expressed in litres rather than cubic meters.

🗒️ As a wiki editor, please allways employ Template:Unit to define attribute types characterized by physical units or any established nonphysical units.
