This is an interesting coversation on the 'ecoinfo at ecoinformatics.org' 
list I've been having with Chris Nicholas about the relationship between 
SEEK efforts and OpenGIS efforts.  In particular, there is a 
UnitsOfMeasurement document (at 
http://www.opengis.org/info/discussion.htm) that he points out that is 
very similar to our use of STMML for typing units in EML.  I think STMML 
is a bit more expressive in terms of relationships among the basic 
dimensions, but their work is interesting.

PS I've been sending emails like this to 'seek-dev' rather than 'seek'. 
  I thought I'd try this to see if people were ok with it.  Let me know 
if you'd prefer that I use seek-dev for these types of messages.
