BIPM Webinar: Developments Towards Interoperable Metrology

22 June 2022 (07:00-08:30 UTC)

A Session of the Units Summit coordinated by BIPM and CODATA during SciDataCon22

The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM), whose mission is to promote world-wide uniformity in units of measurement, is working to develop a digital framework for the International System of Units (SI). This initiative will be an important step towards the FAIR principles being adopted by the metrology community.

Whilst the initial focus is on achieving machine-readability of data and services, the final objective is for the data and services to become interoperable. This is a complex challenge that will require collaboration with stakeholders and particularly those developing unit and quantity systems and vocabularies.

The session will include talks about how the BIPM is working on the digital transformation of its databases and services as well as the work being initiated in the Consultative Committees, with examples of the work going on within the Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency and the Consultative Committee for Length.
