Characteristicc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#Characteristic

A characteristic represents a property of an entity that can be measured (e.g., height, length, or color). We adopt the standard distinction (e.g., as in M. Bunge, 1979) between things (entities) and their properties (characteristics). A characteristic of an entity is observed through a measurement, which further asserts a value of the characteristic for the entity. A characteristic type (e.g., "height") can be associated with many different entities, whereas an individual characteristic (a particular occurrence of the "height" characteristic) is associated to exactly one entity.

Characteristic Qualifierc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#CharacteristicQualifier

A Characteristic Qualifier is a generic derived (e.g., computed) property of an entity that must be combined with concrete characteristics to be used in a measurement. A qualifier is either a base (atomic) or composite qualifier. As an example, the base qualifier Minimum can be combined with a characteristic Length to create a Minimum Length qualified characteristic. A composite qualifer is used to combine multiple qualifiers.

Contextc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#Context

A context measurement is a special measurement for capturing the details of a contextual relationship among two observations. These details include a characteristic that asserts the relationship between the two entities being observed. Optionally, a protocol (e.g., defining the procedure for observing the relationship) and a standard can also be given (however, these will typically not be specified as part of context). The value of the context measurement is the contextualizing entity, and the observation for the context measurement is the contextualized observation.

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#Entity

An entity denotes a concrete or conceptual object that has been observed (e.g., a tree, a community, an ecological process). We adopt the standard distinction (e.g., as in M. Bunge, 1979) between things (entities) and their properties (characteristics). Entities constitute the foci of observations, i.e., every observation is of exactly one entity.

Measurementc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#Measurement

A measurement is an assertion that a characteristic of an entity was measured and/or recorded. A measurement is also composed of a value, a measurement standard, and a precision (associated with the measured value). Measurements also encapsulate characteristics that were recorded, but not necessarily measured in a physical sense. For example, the name of a location and a taxon can be captured through measurements.

Observationc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#Observation

An observation represents an "observed entity," that is, an entity that was observed by an observer. An observation often consists of measurements that refer to one or more measured characteristics of the observed entity. Observations may also be made within a broader context. The context of an observation is given by other observations, implying that an observed entity (and specifically each corresponding measurement) contextualizes another observed entity (and its corresponding measurements). For example, an observation of a location may serve as context for an observation of an organism. In this case, the observed characteristic values of the location (such as humidity) are assumed constant for the observation of the organism.

Object Properties

context forop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.0/oboe-core.owl#contextFor

The contextFor property states that one observation serves as the context for another observation. In the case of contextFor, the domain is the context, and the range is the observation being contextualized. Context defines a semantic relationship between two entities that is a fundamental aspect of the observations, but not necessarily of the entities themselves. For example, most measurements are accomplished in a spatio-temporal framework that might be valuable context. The assertions made by contextual observations are assumed of the contextualized observations. Context is a transitive relationship.

If the value of the annotation property denotes an OWL class, then the similarConceptAsClass annotation property should be used instead.
