This is where I'll be posting information about istSOS-Support of Unit Of Measure conversion in istSOS3 GSoC 2018 project to the OSGeo community.

Introduction

The aim of my project primarily is to add conversion of the unit of measure in istSOS3. The user can convert unit in another specified unit. For Unit of measure conversion in istSOS3 we will add pint libraries which has a powerful feature of unit conversion along with many specified functions like pressure, temperature, height, velocity, distance, humidity and rain unit conversion function instantly.

Idea

istSOS has gone through a lot of improvements since 2009. This has somehow affected the simplified interaction with measurements and SOS service settings.

Project

Title: istSOS-Support of Unit Of Measure conversion in istSOS3.

Student: Rahul Chauhan

Mentors: Massimiliano Cannata, Milan Antonovic.

Implementation details

PINT

Pint is a Python package to define, operate and manipulate physical quantities: the product of a numerical value and a unit of measurement. It allows arithmetic operations between them and conversions from and to different units. It runs in Python 2.7 and 3.3+ with no other dependency. It supports a lot of numpy mathematical operations without monkey patching or wrapping numpy.

PostgreSQL-unit

postgresql-unit implements a PostgreSQL datatype for SI units, plus byte. The eight base units can be combined to arbitrarily complex derived units using operators defined in the PostgreSQL type system. SI and IEC binary prefixes are used for input and output, and quantities can be converted to arbitrary scale. Unit and prefix definitions are retrieved from database tables, and new definitions can be added at run time. The extension comes with over 2500 units and over 100 prefixes found in the definitions.units file in GNU Units 2.16.
