Description of the action item
Where do scale references fit in the ontology? I'm unclear whether it is
better linked to unit of measure, the sensor or calibration? For example,
http://www.seawatersolutions.com/practical-salinity-scale-pss78-3-w.asp.
Note that codes from BODC embed some of these standards in their
definitions. Probably not the best way, since difficult to extract and
facilitate automatic conversions....
