[OntGov] Building the semantics resources for NETMAR WPS chains

[Lowry, Roy K.]

Hi Mike,

What I'm thinking of would have a definition along the lines of 'Parameter concepts with granularity appropriate for use as service input parameters'. This could of course form a part of one or more oceanographic concept schemes where such a level of granularity is appropriate.  An obvious additional application would be the labelling of aggregated datasets such as the EMODNET layers.

Cheers, Roy.

Hi Roy,

Pardon the slow response (better late than never?).

Is there a need to restrict it to "service input parameters" rather than
a more general concept hierarchy?  I know there's a clear risk of taking
forever if one tries to build a "model of the world", but perhaps
setting up higher level (say) oceanographic concepts might be a more
generally useful collection.

Obviously we're keen on anything remote-sensed in the oceans
(chlorophyll, sst, etc) :)

I think this'd be a nice easy-to-put-together demonstration, and useful
besides :)

Cheers,

Mike.
