Additional Units for Sensor Measurement Lists

Overview

RFC 8798, “Additional Units for Sensor Measurement Lists”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2020 by C. Bormann. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Sensor Measurement Lists (SenML) media type supports the indication of units for a quantity represented. This short document registers a number of additional unit names in the IANA registry for units in SenML. It also defines a registry for secondary units that cannot be in SenML's main registry, as they are derived by linear transformation from units already in that registry.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
