[eml-dev] annotating log-transformed units

[Carl Boettiger]

Hi eml-dev,

Any advice on the best way to write the EML attribute metadata for, e.g. a
column whose units are log-transformed lengths measured in centimeters?
(Logarithms being 'pure', formally).  (I see definitions for powers but not
logs among the standardUnits<http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.1.1/eml-unitTypeDefinitions.html>)


Would this require a custom unit definition?  Seems like this might be a
reasonably common use-case, so curious how others are handling it.

Thanks and sorry for the bother,

- Carl
