Description denny vrandecic 2013-09-19 11:56:13 UTC 
The quantity datatype allows to enter quantities. It has quantity value, lower,  upper, and a unit.
Comment 1 Even Thorbergsen 2013-10-16 15:29:11 UTC 
I wonder if the unit should be controlled by a predefined code list. Otherwise we will have a multitude of units for the same quantity type, e.g. W, kW, MW etc. for power.

Alternatively, in stead of unity type, allowing selection of a quantity type like "time", "length", "area", "power", "currency" etc. where the unit is predefined to a non-prefixed unit, correspondingly to "s", "m", "m2", "W", "unspecified".

Comment 3 physikerwelt 2014-01-29 08:36:55 UTC 
I saw a RFC. Is someone working on that?
Semantic annotation of formulae that contain units is part of my PhD topic... therefore I'm very interested in that topic and open for potential contributions.
Comment 4 Lydia Pintscher 2014-01-31 00:40:39 UTC 
Status update: We have just released the first version of the quantities data type on Wikidata.org. It does not yet support units.

@physikerwelt: feel free to get in touch with me via email :)
