+Catalog]. When searching for the unit, remember that the unit catalog uses British English, e.g.,
+_metre_ instead of _meter_.

+TIP: If you're modeling quantities for which both the metric system and the imperial system provide
+units, such as meter vs feet, it is always recommended to use the metric system (preferably SI units
+like meter or others like kilometer if more common in the domain) – unless there are specific
+reasons to create the model differently. In any case it is strongly discouraged to add multiple
+Properties in the same scope representing the same value only using different units due to the
+inherent complexity.
