RE: CRS specification (was: Re: ISA Core Location Vocabulary)

Ghislain -

You have found the details for a different project.

The README.txt relates to a set of ontologies representations of models from some of the ISO 19100 standards. The ontology URIs follow the ISO URI scheme, except for replacing the domain with http://def.seegrid.csiro.au/isotc211/ . For example see http://def.seegrid.csiro.au/isotc211/iso19156/2011/observation. This OM ontology is listed on LOV http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_om.html though Bernard has not (yet?) processed all the imports. I presented a paper in the Semantic Sensor Web workshop at the recent Intl. Semantic Web Conference that gives more details - see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1063/ and http://www.slideshare.net/drshorthair/an-explicit-owl-representation-of-isoogc-observations-and-measurements


The OGC definitions service is completely different, though it is hosted by CSIRO nearby. URIs that start http://www.opengis.net/def/*  get redirected to http://def.seegrid.csiro.au/sissvoc/ogc-def/resource?uri=http://www.opengis.net/def/* The way to read the second URI is 'the graph of what http://def.seegrid.csiro.au/sissvoc/ogc-def/ knows about http://www.opengis.net/def/*'
You can also hit the SPARQL endpoint at http://def.seegrid.csiro.au/sparql/ogc-def

[Raj - There is currently no plan for CSIRO to stop hosting this on OGC's behalf, but of course there will be a technology refresh sometime which might see it move.]

Apologies for the delay in clarifying all this - its summer here, so time for family vacations.

Simon

Hi all,
[ just to confirm what Raj wrote ]


I'm pretty sure OGC will be taking over the hosting of the OGC definitions service currently located at CSIRO. But notice at the bottom of that page there's a link to "Contact Simon Cox".

More details here http://def.seegrid.csiro.au/static/isotc211/README.txt.
In short, it says "While the ontologies [here?] are currently in the def.seegrid.csiro.au<http://def.seegrid.csiro.au> domain, they are not owned by CSIRO, and will be superseded by ontologies in an ISO-owned domain in due course.

And yes, the contact at CSIRO is Simon Jonathan David COX


Are they folks from CSIRO to give us more details on this current work?
It is a good initiative that deserve more attention, especially from W3C....


Best,
Ghislain
