Linked Datatypes - lightweight description for key information

The Linked Datatypes initative aims at enabling lightweight descriptions of useful knowledge on the Web of Data, using simple RDF literals empowered by RDF Datatypes.

The flagship Datatype is cdt:ucum that can be used to describe measurements with any unit defined in The Unified Code for Units of Measure.
