FHIR Java library providing UCUM Services

The library provides a set of services around UCUM:

- validate a UCUM unit (and also against a particular base unit)

- decide whether one unit can be converted/compared to another

- translate a quantity from one unit to another 

- prepare a human readable display of a unit 

- multiply 2 quantities together

To use the library, download ucum-essence from http://unitsofmeasure.org, and then create a UCUMEssenceService:

UcumService ucumSvc = new UcumEssenceService(definitionFile);
