Problem

The resources page at /resources.html had multiple issues:

  1. 25+ dead links — All links to the old GitHub repo (unitsml/unitsml.nist.gov) return 404 because the repo has been deleted
  2. Redundant Schema Documentation section — schema.unitsml.org already hosts all schema docs
  3. Wrong CalConnect TC UNITS URL/committees/tc-units was a 404

These issues would cause the lychee link checker CI to fail.

Changes

  • Remove all resource cards linking to the deleted unitsml.nist.gov repo (presentations, NDRs, schemas, samples)
  • Remove Schema Documentation section entirely (redundant with schema.unitsml.org)
  • Remove Sample Documents section (all links dead)
  • Keep only working cards with local file links from /ref-docs/
  • Point NIST JRES publication to local copy instead of the unreachable nvl.nist.gov URL
  • Fix CalConnect TC UNITS URL in supporters.md (/committees/tc-units/about/technical-committees/tc-units/)

Remaining resources (all verified)

Resource Link Status
SciDataCon 2022 video YouTube embed
Santa Fe 2003 presentation /ref-docs/UnitsML-Santa-Fe-2003.ppt
NIST JRES paper /ref-docs/Improving_Interoperability...
Guidelines v1.0-wd01 /ref-docs/UnitsML-Guide-v1.0-wd01.pdf
Guidelines Draft v0.4 /ref-docs/UnitsML_Guidelines_DraftVersion_0.4.doc

The old GitHub repo (unitsml/unitsml.nist.gov) has been deleted, making
all 25+ links to presentations, publications, NDRs, schemas, and samples
return 404. The lychee link checker CI was failing as a result.

Changes:
- Remove all resource cards linking to the deleted repo
- Remove Schema Documentation section (redundant with schema.unitsml.org)
- Remove Sample Documents section (dead links)
- Keep only cards with working local file links (ref-docs/)
- Point NIST JRES publication to local copy instead of unreachable URL
- Fix CalConnect TC UNITS URL (committees/tc-units → about/technical-committees/tc-units/)
