This ontology will provide a granular index for sections of best practice documents which pertain to environmental sensing. To maximise interoperability with other linked data resources, it will leverage semantics developed by the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies Foundry and Library such as the Information Artifact Ontology (IAO), the Environment Ontology (ENVO), the Chemical Entities of Biological Interest Ontology (CHEBI), and the Ontology for Biomedical Investomortigations (OBI) to enhance discovery of online best practice documents.
Our first use cases will involve best practice recommendations from the ocean sensing community such as the FixO3 handbook. See our Wiki for some content examples. Please post an issue or contact PL Buttigieg.
This project is currently in pre-alpha.
Once added to the OBO Library, the latest version of the ontology can always be found at:
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/meso.owl
(note this will not show up until the request has been approved by obofoundry.org)
Editors of this ontology should use the edit version, src/ontology/meso-edit.owl
Please use this GitHub repository's Issue tracker to request new terms/classes or report errors or specific concerns related to the ontology.
