[esip-semanticweb] [Esip-earthcollaboratory] ontological concepts for science

[Jeff McWhirter]

Thanks for all of the responses. My responses below.

If anyone is interested here are a couple of RAMADDA sites that show some
of these constructs:
Here is an example repository I am putting together highlighting some of
the data management capabilities in RAMADDA:
http://community.ramadda.org/repository/repos/data
Type specific search:
http://community.ramadda.org/repository/repos/data/search/type

Here is the Antarctica program at Unavco's TLS (LiDAR) archive:
http://tls.unavco.org/repository/alias/antarctica

This has projects, sites, site visits, etc.

It looks like this ontology fits very well with what I am developing. I
think Campaign and Deployment are synonym-ish. I like that they have People
and Instrument. Maybe their Affiliation could be generalized to be
Organization.

This might be too general. I'm not trying to create a full blown ontology -
just identify some science process specific constructs.

I think the SWEET ontology is too detailed and broad for what I am looking
for.
