Overview
• X-domain vocabulary for observation data
• Data catalogues
C3DIS 2018-05-29 | Cox | Standards for science data2 |
Motivation for a common model
• Integrated analysis and
modelling
• Data integration a significant
challenge
• X-disciplinary terminology

An Observation is an action
whose result is an estimate of the value of some property of the feature-of-interest
that applied at the stated phenomenon-time,
obtained using a specified procedure, completed at the recorded result-time

Now a W3C vocabulary (2017)

A feature type
is defined by a set of
characteristic properties
A feature
instance
is defined by the
values of its properties
“Observation” = Act of observation
C3DIS 2018-05-29 | Cox | Standards for science data14 |
https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-ssn/
Phenomenon-time = time result applies to feature
Result-time = time result became available
Sensor observations: result-time ≥ phenomenon-time
Forecasts: result-time < phenomenon-time
Archeology, Geology, Cosmology: result-time >> phenomenon-time
Many types of result
1.76m Scaled number
(-37.908, 145.029) epsg:4326 Vector, Tuple
Array, Image, Field
“Silurian” ISC 2017 Word or concept, classifier
“poor” {reference} Assessment
“false” Boolean
Value of result is tied to a reference system
C3DIS 2018-05-29 | Cox | Standards for science data15 |
Extension for Observation Collections
Members share one or more of
• Observed-property
• Feature-of-interest
• Procedure (protocol)
• Sensor (instrument)
• Phenomenon time, or
• Result time
C3DIS 2018-05-29 | Cox | Standards for science data16 |
https://w3c.github.io/sdw/proposals/ssn-extensions/
Sample = result of Act-of-sampling
A ‘sample’ is a thing or subset which is intended to
be representative of a larger thing or set …
… created or selected for the purpose of making
observations to determine the value of one or more
properties, traits or qualities of the larger thing
C3DIS 2018-05-29 | Cox | Standards for science data17
The essential property of a sample is the 'is-sample-
of' relationship with the larger thing.
https://goo.gl/KBvkgW
Types of sample
A material sample or specimen is typically
selected to allow ex-situ observations
A statistical sample or subset is a specified
number of individuals from a population
A spatio-temporal sample may have the
same dimension but a smaller extent than
the thing which it represents,
or a lower topologic dimension than the
thing which it represents

Summary
• Formal x-domain vocabulary for observation data
• Widely adopted in several domains
• Ontology standardized through W3C 
• Standard Dataset Catalog vocabulary
• Extension to support cataloguing other resources
• Services, … samples, protocols, software
• Also see W3C QB - https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/
• Easily combined for specialist applications
• Science data
