+- *./units*
+
+  - The main directory of the library.
+  - Contains headers files that define a public interface of the library framework
+
+- *./units/bits*
+
+  - Contains header files with implementation details for the library. Interface of
+    the tools provided here should not be standardized.
+
+- *./units/bits/external*
+
+  - Contains header files of general purpose utilities that are not necessary
+    **mp-units** library specific. They are either implementation details of the
+    library or should be (or already are) the subject of separate standardization
+    proposals not related to a Physical Units library proposal.
+
+- *./units/physical*
+
+  - Contains the definition of physical units dimensions
+  - Its subfolders provide the definitions of various
+    :term:`systems of units <system of units>` with :term:`SI` being the most popular
+    one.
+
+- *./units/data*
+
+  - Provides data information dimensions (i.e. `data::bitrate`).
