This directory stores ontologies related to scientific observations. This is meant to be a collaborative space as we develop ontologies that meet the annotation goals in phase 2 of the DataONE project. Partial support for these efforts also provided through the NSF Scientific Observations Network, "SONet" project, NSF INTEROP #0753144. Candidate ontologies include: * OBOE extensions that include Entities, Measurements, Characteristics, Standards, and Protocols. E.g., * OBOE: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe/oboe.1.1/oboe.owl * OBOE-SBC: http://ecoinformatics.org/oboe-ext/sbclter.1.0/oboe-sbclter.owl * O&M lite models * Other domain-relevant ontologies * SWEET and others? * Earth Science related Ontoloiges: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YcRiiqNUVZlay3pDR6yQKuKHGe-Q5Mwynx_a0w8zkr0/edit?usp=sharing
