Modelling Guidelines - oeg-upm/ssn-resource-center GitHub Wiki

This page provides links to usual modelling guidelines and recipes on the extension and usage of the SSN Ontology. These have been obtained through experience in its usage.

• Modelling features of interest (inc. feature categories)
• Modelling properties (inc. property categories)
• Linking features of interest and properties
• Linking feature categories and properties
• Representing observation values (inc. units of measure)
• Representing complex observation values
• Extending the ontology to represent time
• Extending the ontology to represent space/geometric coordinates (inc. geographical coordinates)
• Extending the ontology to represent observation collections (inc. property summaries)
• Extending the ontology to represent provenance
• How to represent uncertainty in SSN observations?
• Is it possible to represent observations with multiple values/properties? (related to "modelling guidelines - complex observation values")
• What is a stimulus?
• Can observations be modelled as events?
• What is the DOLCE Ultra Lite (DUL) ontology and why is it used in SSN?
• Is there a minimum set of concepts and relations to represent an observation in SSN? (core ontology pattern)
