Re: Notation Question in the examples on SOSA/SSN

Hi Kathi,

Most of the OPs that we refer to are established as SKOS Concepts. We refer to them via sosa:observedProperty but don’t usually have more semantic properties for them than labels and definitions. We haven’t, for example, linked them to the kinds of features they are relevant to, so we don’t say that “trunk width at 1.5m” is relevant to “tree” but I think we will be doing more of that soon as we tighten up our OPs and feature classes as we implement more data quality and consistency checks in our DBs.

Cheers, Nick

I have a lot of work going on at the moment involving biodiversity "parameters" (ObsPros) such as those listed here, http://linked.data.gov.au/def/tern-cv/5699eca7-9ef0-47a6-bcfb-9306e0e2b85e, and I'd like to see how to mesh our current practice with the canonical examples here.
