Re: sdw: ssn task for next ssn meeting

Hi Kerry,

In terms of the integration of the sao ontology, I have discussed it payam and we are happy for the sao ontology to be a module in the ssn ontology or an extension of the ssn ontology. It is not difficult to integrate it into the ssn ontology as another small module since it is not a large ontology. I am flexible with renaming some of the concept names to make it suitable with the rest of the modules. I will add some of the use cases that I have been working on using the sao ontology on the ssn web page. Is this the right page for me to add a few examples?

Sefki – could you please also consider issue-71 Should sao"point and sao:segment be inside the core for time series analysis.? In particular I think we need a case to be made about why in particular these are useful and necessary for on-board implementation in IoT devices. The use cases you have been working with could be what we need.

Furthermore, that same bar of “necessary” should be addressed to every other term in SAO core.

Finally – I’d like to ask (I recall Joel raised this earlier) what *is* the purpose of the core – ie what defines what belongs in the core and what does not? I think this needs to be well articulated to support our decision making and also our case for the user community.
