    "description": "The SI base unit of luminous intensity in a given direction defined from the luminous intensity of monochromatic radiation at a specific frequency and radiant intensity at the 16th CGPM Meeting in 1979.\n\n\"The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction, of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540\u00d710\u00b9\u00b2 hertz and that has a radiant intensity in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.\" [16th CGPM Meeting (1979), resolution 3].\n\nThe hertz, watt, and steradian units referenced in this definition are:\n\n- the SI 1967 derived hertz unit (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1967/named/hertz) equal to second\u207b\u00b9, referencing the SI 1967 base unit second (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1967/base/second).\n- the SI 1967 derived watt unit (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1967/named/watt) equal to kilogram\u00b7meter\u00b2\u00b7second\u207b\u00b3, referencing the SI 1960 base unit kilogram (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1960/base/kilogram) and metre (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1960/base/metre); and the 1967 base unit second (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1967/base/second).\n- the SI 1960 supplementary unit steradian (https://schemas.optimade.org/defs/v1.2/units/si/1960/supplementary/steradian).",
