Description

Associates a unit with a specified base quantity. For example si::metre is a unit to measure isq::length in the SI system.

Note

This is the preferred way to define a measurement unit for a specific base quantity.
Note

It does not have to (or sometimes even can't) be a proper system's base unit. For example a base unit of mass in the SI is si::kilogram but here you are about to provide an si::gram and it will work just fine as those two are convertible to each other. A similar case would be the cgs::centimetre that is a base unit for isq::length in the CGS system.

Allows assigning a special name to another scaled or derived unit (e.g. hour, joule).
