    public class SIDerivedDimensionRepresentativeConcept
extends DerivedDimensionRepresentativeConcept
    A representative concept in the unitSystem ontology for a set of units for a specific physical dimension that is one of the 7 SI specified base dimensions. There are 7 base dimensions from which all other unit dimensions are derived. These can be specified in a units system ontology by 7 BaseUnitRepresentativeConcepts:
    • Mass - SI unit kilograms (kg)
    • Position - SI unit meters (m)
    • Time - SI unit seconds (sec)
    • Current - SI unit amperes (amp)
    • Temperature - SI unit Kelvin (K)
    • Amount of substance - SI unit moles (mol)
    • Intensity of light - SI unit candela (cd)

        Create a new SIDerivedUnitRepresentativeConcept with the specified name and ontology.
        Parameters:
        ontology - The specified ontology where this concept resides.
        name - The specified name for the concept.
        Throws:
