Re: [ubl-dev] Catalog examples

[Tim McGrath <tim.mcgrath@documentengineeringservices.com>]

there is not a definitive code list for dimensions - which is why UBL 
does not specify them.  So you will have to create your own.

the best I can do is point you to the UN/ECE recommendations for 
Space-Time in Units of Measure.   This lists length, breadth, height, 
thickness, radius, radius of curvature, cartesian coordinates, diameter, 
length of path, distance and some  others - but sets no code value for 
them (why not just the full term? - eg Height instead of HT)

for background you can check out...
http://www.unece.org/cefact/recommendations/rec20/rec20_rev3_Annex1e.pdf
and
