• UCUM info: unit of measure, https://www.health.belgium.be/nl/ucum and https://ucum.org/¨, you can do calculations with UCUM
• UCUM can be made highly recommended/supported, not made mandatory. We might need other systems (snomed-CT) and we will use slicing for this
• for units of presentation and dose forms, we should consider EDQM as well (at least for medications)
