I’m right on it Gunnar, QUDT unit conversion I mean. I’m actually on the Tech 
Advisory Board of QUDT and am hoping to see QUDT more formally adopted by org 
such as OGC, se we have QUDT featuring in the new GeoSPARQL Stanford’s version, 
due out shortly, but am also looking for more ways to make it easier to use and 
having a conversion function like you suggest has been raised.

Also raised recently was UCUM unit conversion where microformat literals like 
“10 m” & “30 ft/s^2” are used.

Look out for both here in RDFlib in the next couple of months.

I think RDFlib can lead on these implementations, given the ease of 
interrogating the queried graph object and also the full Python set of tools 
available. Much easier to add these extensions in RDFlib than in Jena.

Hats off to the original SPARQL extension function authors!!
