Re: [cml/ccml-discuss] Jcampdx Dictionary -2nd version

Stefan,

to follow up on x and y units. Unless I set up a jcampdxUnits then
somewhere we need to be able to have definitions for all of the following:

	<entry id="XUNITS" term="XUnits">
		<definition>Abscissa units</definition>
		<description>
			Specifies the abscissa units for XYDATA, the following
			entries are allowed: 1/CM, MICROMETERS, NANOMETERS, SECONDS, HZ, M/Z
			(PPM allowed for assignments and tables but NOT for spectra)
                         MILLISECONDS, MICROSECONDS, NANOSECONDS,
			DEGREE, HERTZ, KELVIN, SECOND, TESLA, WATT.
		</description>
	</entry>
	<entry id="YUNITS" term="YUnits">
		<definition>Ordinate units</definition>
		<description>
			Specifies the ordinate units for XYDATA, the following entries are allowed:
                         TRANSMITTANCE, REFLECTANCE, ABSORBANCE, KUBELKA-MUNK, COUNTS,
                         RELATIVE ABUNBDANCE, MICROAMPERES, NANOAMPERES, PICOAMPERES, ARBITRARY UNITS
		</description>
	</entry>

some of these are in units but only absorbance and relative abundance seem
to be in the cml dictionary. Arbitrary is in units but 'arbitrary units'
is not in either.

Is the idea to have the X in units and the Y in cml or shouldn't ALL of them
be located in units to make life easier?????


Thanks
