This is a proposal for how UCD words could be represented as a "normal" IVOA vocabulary. The syntax codes are given as extra triples with a new ivoasem property; in HTML, this is not formatted in an ideal way, but I guess that would easily be fixed.

That there is no structure in this list is something I don't particularly like. True, the way UCDs are built does not exactly lend itself to the is-a relationships that we have in RDF class vocabularies. Is phys.size a phys? Is phys.size.diameter a phys.size?

I am hard pressed to give a heart-felt "yes" in either case, but I don't see a clear "no" either. Perhaps we should identify cases that are clearer in either direction and see whether it makes sense to organise this into a tree.
