Hello,

I am thinking of doing some weather data logging as RDF. Is there an existing vocabulary for logging temperature, pressure, wind speed etc ?

I guess that the Event Ontology would be a good starting point.
http://motools.sourceforge.net/event/event.html

On a related note, how wrong is it to encode the unit of measurement (eg Centigrade) as a datatype?
