Improve unit representation in EMMO about emmo HOT 1 OPEN

You are right, the list of SI dimensional units is large.

People often works with datasets with units like "mA/cm2" and need to refer to them. Because of this demand, we have included most of the units from QUDT. By default EMMO imports the coherentsiunit module, but not prefixed units. Only the SIDimensionalUnit subclasses that are needed to categorise any of the included units are included in EMMO. The intention of these SIDimensionalUnit subclasses are exactly to answers questions like "Which unit has the length measurement?"

The recommended way to use EMMO in your domain ontology is to just import those modules you need. That way you avoid bloating your domain ontology.

Regardless of that, it is worth to discuss what units modules that should be imported by default.
