Dear DDLm group,

(abbreviated text of issue raised at https://github.com/COMCIFS/cif_core/issues/86)

The current DDLm specification provides for a data name that contains the standard uncertainty of another data name to flag this relationship by setting _type.purpose to SU and _name.linked_item_id to the data name that it holds the SU of. However, it is more often useful to search in the opposite direction, that is, given a data name, find the data name that holds the SU. I therefore propose that, when a data name has _type.purpose of Measurand, a data name specified in _name.linked_item_id will hold the standard uncertainty.  Any objections?

James.
