Mapping Unit Aspects with a Generic XML OIEP
Aspects, also called data sources, are displayed when mapping Units for export. The description of each Aspect is included below.
Aspect |
Description |
---|---|
ID |
Extracts the ID of the unit. For example, if a unit has the ID 1234 and the name 'Pound,' then '1234' is extracted. |
Name |
Extracts the name of the unit. For example, if a unit has the ID 1234 and the name 'Pound,' then the word 'Pound' is extracted. |
Unit Base |
Extracts the ID of the base unit for the unit. For example, if a unit has base unit 'm,' then the 'm' is extracted. |
Unit Factor |
Extracts the conversion factor that should be multiplied to a value with the unit to get the value in the base unit. For example, if a unit has a base unit conversion of 'value(g) = .001 * value(kg),' then '.001' is extracted. |
Unit Offset |
Extracts the conversion factor that should be added to a value with the unit to get the value in the base unit. For example, if a unit has a base unit conversion of 'Value(K) = .556 * Value(°F) + 255.3722,' then '255.3722' is extracted. |
