Re: Notation Question in the examples on SOSA/SSN

Hi Kathi,

That's certainly the plan. Many of the OPs we use are listed in vocabs produced by TERN and Anu worked at TERN when she worked on the I-ADOPT things.

I think this will take some time but by January, we will be able to query out of our DB:

- a list of all used OPs
- the things the OPs are of/from

- sites, specimens etc

From that, we will then start to both work with our data suppliers to include richer semantics in what they send to us and we might also infer many of the I-ADOPT-style links within the DB.

I am also work with Gwen on vocab linking within FAIR-EASE dataset metadata that will also include OPs, so we may see I-ADOPT relationships recorded there too

Cheers, Nick

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.

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.
