FHIR Java library providing UCUM Services
The library provides a set of services around UCUM:
- validate a UCUM unit (and also against a particular base unit)
- decide whether one unit can be converted/compared to another
- translate a quantity from one unit to another
- prepare a human readable display of a unit
- multiply 2 quantities together
To use the library, download ucum-essence from http://unitsofmeasure.org, and then create a UCUMEssenceService:
UcumService ucumSvc = new UcumEssenceService(definitionFile);
