SEEK Observation Ontology

Difference between version 4 and version 3:

Lines 22-23 were replaced by lines 22-23
- # Define the oboe:Observable. This can be left general, or its class can be found through a lookup in the knowledge base (concept name search, ontology browsing, google-like search on annotation properties and related docs...)
- # Define one new Observation (recurse to step 1) per each trait of the observable that is measured in the dataset. This can be assisted by the ontology, filtering Observables to represent the know traits of the top-level observable. Note: hasTrait->Observable should probably be a property in oboe:Observable, to use as superproperty for "traits" in domain ontologies. No InterWiki reference defined in properties for Wiki called 'Note'!). Such observations are linked to the top-level observation through the hasObservation property. This definition goes down to the instantiation of oboe:Measurement and the definition of oboe:ObservedDimensionality.
+ # Define the oboe:Observable. This can be left general, or its class can be found through a lookup in the knowledge base (concept name search, ontology browsing, google-like search on annotation properties and related docs...) A process should be identified to propose a concept if none is found matching the desired Observable. The procedure instantiates the Observable in the top-level annotation.

This can be assisted by the ontology, filtering Observables to represent the know traits of the top-level observable. Note: hasTrait->Observable should probably be a property in oboe:Observable, to use as superproperty for "traits" in domain ontologies. Such observations are linked to the top-level observation instance through the hasObservation property. This definition ginstantiates an oboe:Measurement and the relative oboe:ObservedDimensionality. More semantic lookups are involved in this definition.
Line 25 was replaced by line 25
- # Per each context defined, define the mapping between the Observation representing the context and the oboe:Measurement entered for the trait contextualized. This process must be defined (see examples).
+ # Per each context defined, define the mapping between the Observation representing the context and the oboe:Measurement entered for the trait contextualized. This process is also assisted by the context ontologies and must be defined (see examples).
