Dear Experts,
Sorry to bother you with this one again. Since it is just a single choice,
maybe we can close it sooner, so the quantity scope tasks can be finished
soon, too.
https://java.net/jira/browse/UNITSOFMEASUREMENT-9
Asks for either
1. MassDensity
2. VolumetricDensity
3. VolumetricMassDensity
Please advise with a +1 vote either in this thread or directly with the
JIRA ticket.
As discussed with Leo last weekend, there are a few manual steps required
on the ME side, so having the API and all types it contains frozen soon
would be beneficial for these steps, too.
I am not particularly biased. Having places like NIST and other standard
bodies just calling it "Mass Density" is probably a good argument. As
Wikipedia explains
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density the proper full
name is "Volumetric Mass Density", so the name we had so far is one (maybe
a lesser used) short form. Either we keep it, use the more common one or
the full name.
Thanks,
Werner
