Plenary presentations from speakers at the Units, Symbols, and Terminology in the Physical Sciences in and for the Digital Era held at the Royal Society of Chemistry, 13-14 March 2025The aim of this meeting was to bring together several groups who were trying to combat similar problems – how to bring the standards for scientific nomenclature and terminology into the digital age. There were representatives from: PSDI – Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure CODATA DRUM Task Group – Digital Representation of Units of Measure IUPAC Green Book – Quantities, Units, and Symbols in Physical Chemistry IUPAC Gold Book – Compendium of Chemical Terminology The format of the conference was similar to a workshop. These plenary talks covered ideas from the Philosophy of Chemistry, through Metadata, to the use of the Semantic Web in Science. There were plenty of opportunities for the individual projects to work on their current issues, compare notes with other projects, and explore common agendas.
