General information

Abstract

The ontology structures observatories across three main hierarchical levels: Regional Facilities – large-scale marine areas under long-term observation, Sites – specific geographic locations within a Regional Facility where observations take place, Platforms – physical structures (e.g., cabled observatories, moorings, landers) deployed at a site to carry scientific instruments. Two additional levels are planned for future development: Measured Parameters – describing the observed phenomena (e.g., temperature, pressure, biogeochemical indicators), Datasets and PIDs – linking observations and parameters to their corresponding published datasets (with persistent identifiers such as DOI).

Description

The OSO Ontology (Open Seas Observatories) provides a semantic framework for describing subsea and deep-sea observatories, with a particular focus on those operated within the EMSO-ERIC (European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory) which is an European Research Infrastructure Consortium., Descriptive ontology for open seas observatories (including all EMSO observatories for European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatories) See more...
