Abstract
To understand applied physics, and physical formulae in particular, the investigation of identifier units is beneficial. However, normally the units are not given explicitly in formulae and have to be inferred. In this paper, we investigate how this process can be automated. As an example application, we use physical formulae from Wikipedia together with information from the related knowledge-base Wikidata. We envision that this method can be generalized and describe how, in the future, hard logical constraints may be used as a feedback mechanism for statistical methods inProceedings Title
