Hi Adam, thanks so much for the references here!!

The main driver here is that in the geosciences, we have some Time Series science initiatives going back some decades, and are looking to 1) elevate the Time Series activities themselves for discovery, 2) deacribe the collection events within these initiatives and 3) logically grip and correlate datasets generated from these events.

Piet Luigi Buttigieg had already done some work in this space and has presented using the EventSeries type to help us describe the science initiative. So this looks like a better fit than my initial idea.

But these data commons resources will be useful in helping us work out how these time series datasets might be used (I think), so I’m excited to take a look.

Thank you for chiming in and engaging with us!!! Happy to report back what we land on if useful.

Cheers, Adam

Could I encourage you to take a look at the approach that DataCommons.org have been using for a while? The basic vocabulary for it is in Schema.org but you'll probably find https://github.com/datacommonsorg/data/blob/master/docs/representing_statistics.md a good entry point. That repo uses MCF which is in fact RDF's ancestor; if you can read Turtle it should be obvious enough. There is a lot of data in https://github.com/datacommonsorg/data/tree/master/scripts - most typically a combination of tabular input data plus a template file that maps into the schema markup to describe an observation of a statistical variable in a place and at a time.

I'd be interested to hear whether what you're trying to do could plug in alongside these efforts in some way...

cheers,

Dan

Any interest here in pursuing the definition of a new schema.org<http://schema.org/> type for Time Series Data that would be subclass of https://schema.org/CreativeWorkSeries

I'm interested in having ways to describe:
• changes in collection/observation methods over time
• describing various people and operating organziations and roles as they change over time
• individual datasets within a time series and their relationships to each other
• and whatever other use cases/challenges the data community has seen here (this is the prompt to contribute!)

Feel free to contribute interest/ideas here in the notes space for our next telecon on Thursday, March 28th @ 2:30pm ET
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tIlDVnKeocO1E_SSbNaldv0avORfGFdmYDNk_3ub6ik/edit#heading=h.n3stdrckyw1n

There are some useful conceptual ideas we can borrow from some of the existing subclasses like
• https://schema.org/RadioSeries
• https://schema.org/VideoGameSeries


Cheers, Adam
