Abstract
The International Committee for Weights and Measures has recognised the need to provide support for digital representations of the International System of Units (SI) and related metrological concepts, such as traceability and measurement uncertainty. A specialised Task Group was established to address this in 2019. This summary reports on the activities of the task group to date, which include an overarching “Grand Vision” document, sketching out an SI Digital Framework, and an international online workshop, “The SI in FAIR digital data”, held in February 2021, to engage a wide audience in discussions about a solution.
