Recently, I was discussing about the pros and cons of different unit ontologies. However, I was not able to really express, why I am in favor of an ontology, which not only provides the direct conversion factors between units for direct application, but also provides the explanation for these values. In her keynote, Maria-Esther Vidal provided an explanation for my intuition (free after Aristotle): "We think we know a thing only when we know its cause." #eswc2026 #UnitsOfMeasurement #Ontologies
