perfsonar development work

I would recommend putting the information about the unit in the key, for 
example:


<nmwg:store>

   <nmwg:metadata id="meta1">
       ....
   </nmwg:metadata>

   <nmwg:data id="data1" metadataIdRef="meta1">
       <nmwg:key>
           <nmwg:parameters>
               <nmwg:parameter name="file">/test.rrd</nmwg:parameter>
               <nmwg:parameter name="dataSource">ps0</nmwg:parameter>
               <nmwg:parameter name="unit">bps</nmwg:parameter>
           </nmwg:parameters>
       </nmwg:key>
   </nmwg:data>

</nmwg:store>
