Great. So how do we deal with section 5.3.1.3.2 Sensors which states
that 'Sensors are defined as subclasses of physical objects
(DUL:PhysicalObject).'
'<owl:Class rdf:about="http://purl.oclc.org/NET/ssnx/ssn#Sensor">
<rdfs:label>Sensor</rdfs:label>
...
<rdfs:subClassOf
rdf:resource="http://www.loa-cnr.it/ontologies/DUL.owl#PhysicalObject"/>'
Same here: https://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/ssnx/ssn#Sensor , i.e.,
in the OWL code.
Our new SSN definition looks different. It is given here:
http://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/#SSNSensor
and here is the DUL alignment:
|### http://www.w3.org/ns/ssn/Sensor <http://www.w3.org/ns/ssn/Sensor>
rdf:type owl:Class ; rdfs:subClassOf
<http://www.ontologydesignpatterns.org/ont/dul/DUL.owl#Object> . |
So what is the formal relation between new-SSN sensor and old-SSN sensor?
Thank.,
best,
Jano
