/**
 * If meaningful, a Value Domain may be associated with a Unit of Measure — the
 * unit in which any associated Data Element values are specified. The unit is
 * designated by a unit of measure name. When specified, the unit must be
 * consistent with the dimensionality specified in the corresponding Conceptual
 * Domain. Optionally, a unit of measure precision may be specified, as the
 * number of decimal places to be supported in the associated Data Element
 * values. This precision shall be considered a default that may be overridden
 * for any particular Data Element.
