[Seavox] MMI's ontology for platforms revisited

[Lowry, Roy K.]

Hi John,


SeaVoX is still a live (if not particularly active) list and has been developing the platform type vocabulary since our work in MMI. Not much has been done - maybe 3-4 concepts added. The current version is at:


http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L06/


A lot of work has also been done mapping this to other vocabularies, in particular the ICES platform INSTANCE vocabulary. You will see the mappings in the payload of the above URL.


Could you please include SeaVoX in the loop (you should still be able to post messages to the list from one of your e-mail ids: if not contact pamcg at bod.ac.uk)  for the update you are now proposing?


Cheers, Roy.


Please note that I partially retired on 01/11/2015. I am now only working 7.5 hours a week and can only guarantee e-mail response on Wednesdays, my day in the office. All vocabulary queries should be sent to enquiries at bodc.ac.uk. Please also use this e-mail if your requirement is urgent.

Subject: MMI's ontology for platforms revisited

Greetings, rkl.
(Apologies for duplicate emails)

Hello all,

Members of NOAA's IOOS activity are exploring sources for platform type lists.  One of the primary sources they have identified is the MMI platform ontology, in development many years ago with you as a member of the group: [https://marinemetadata.org/community/teams/ontplatforms]
Ontology for Platforms | Marine Metadata Interoperability<https://marinemetadata.org/community/teams/ontplatforms>
marinemetadata.org
In August 2005 the Marine Metadata Initiative (MMI) held a workshop to coordinate the mapping of science domain vocabularies. The sensor team at the workshop ...




I have offered to support their work with changes to the platform ontology as needed to address any issues they may discover. As their need is more in the vocabulary realm than the ontology realm, I expect the updates to add things that are missing, or improve terminology or definitions, rather than reorganizing chunks of the ontology.  Accordingly, most discussion would be on-line, rather than via regular telecons.

If anyone else from the original platform ontology team would like to participate in this update, your participation would be welcome.  As always we like broad community participation to make the results widely useful, so send me an email if you want to be involved in or notified of details in the new activities. I'll put some news up on the Ontology for Platforms group page shortly.

Thanks for your attention. I hope to speak with some of you again soon.

John

P.S. If anyone knows of good vocabulary or ontology of platform types, can you please let me know? Thanks.
