[OntGov] NETMAR Oceanography Semantic Resource

[Lowry, Roy K.]

Dear All,

I am now in the process of building the primary oceanographic resource (a SKOS concept scheme) for NETMAR.  Attached is a PDF of the concept scheme, the XML of work so far (V0), plus a spreadsheet with mappings between the NETMAR WPS validation parameter vocabulary and three orthogonally related facet vocabularies - L05 (instrument types), L06 (platform types) and L131 (Earth layers).  These may all be viewed through the client interface at http://seadatanet.maris2.nl/v_bodc_vocab/welcome.aspx.

Any comments (omissions or especially errors) on these mappings between now and the end of the week (deliverable deadline looming!) would be much appreciated.  I would particularly appreciate somebody looking at the 'ice' parameters as these lie a little outside my comfort zone.

To give an idea of what's possible with the infrastructure we now have in place the attached took a little under 3 days to build.

Cheers, Roy.


>From January 1st 2012 I will be changing to part-time working with a 3-day week from Tuesdays to Thursdays.  This inevitably means a reduction in what I am able to achieve, particularly in respect to dealing with e-mail.  Please help me keep this under control by communicating with colleagues who are starting to take over my role wherever possible.
