GloSIS Ontology Specification Draft
Abstract
This ontology is one of the modules comprising Global Soil Information System (GloSIS) ontology. The GloSIS ontology was developed part of the SIEUSOIL project, which aims at implementing and testing a shared China-EU Web Observatory platform that will provide Linked (Open) Data to monitor status and threats of soil and land resources. The GloSIS ontology enables the representation of soil related data in semantic format. The ontology has been derived from the UML GLOSIS data model v1.0, and it has been created in line with best practices and methodologies, reusing existing standard models and ontologies, including sosa/ssn for the representation of measurements, or SKOS for the representation of codelists.Introduction back to ToC
This module contains all ISO 28258 elements necessary to represent GloSIS, along with the mappings between ISO ontologies, SOSA/SSN, and GeoSPARQL.GloSIS Ontology: ISO-28258 module: Overview back to ToC

The class GFI_DomainFeature represents 'real-world' features which are the ultimate subject of an observation campaign, i.e. the features from an application domain that are .lt.i.gt.not .lt..sl.i.gt.artefacts of the observation process (sampling features).

GFI_Featurec back to ToC or Class ToC
IRI: http://def.isotc211.org/iso19156/2011/GeneralFeatureInstance#GFI_Feature
The class GFI_Feature (Figure 2) is an instance of the .og.metaclass.cg. GF_FeatureType (ISO 19109). It represents the set of all classes which are feature types. NOTE GFI_Feature is implemented in GML (ISO 19136:2007) by the element gml:AbstractFeature and type gml:AbstractFeatureType. In an implementation this abstract class shall be substituted by a concrete class representing a feature type from an application schema associated with a domain of discourse (ISO 19109, ISO 19101). Sampling Features (Clause 8) are a class of feature-types whose role is primarily associated with observations.

.lt.ul.gt. .lt.li.gt..lt.b.gt.Role of sampling features.lt..sl.b.gt..lt..sl.li.gt..lt..sl.ul.gt.Sampling features are artefacts of an observational strategy, and have no significant function outside of their role in the observation process. The physical characteristics of the features themselves are of little interest, except perhaps to the manager of a sampling campaign.EXAMPLE A .ldq.station.rdq. is essentially an identifiable locality where a sensor system or procedure may be deployed and an observation made. In the context of the observation model, it connotes the .ldq.world in the vicinity of the station.rdq., so the observed properties relate to the physical medium at the station, and not to any physical artefact such as a mooring, buoy, benchmark, monument, well, etc. NOTE A transient sampling feature, such as a ships-track or flight-line, may be identified and described, but is unlikely to be revisited exactly. A sampling feature is intended to sample some feature of interest in an application domain. However, in some cases the identity, and even the exact type, of the sampled feature may not be known when observations are made using the sampling features. .lt.ul.gt. .lt.li.gt..lt.b.gt.Classification of sampling features.lt..sl.b.gt..lt..sl.li.gt..lt..sl.ul.gt.A small number of sampling patterns are common across disciplines in observational science. These provide a basis for processing and portrayal tools which are similar across domains, and depend primarily on the geometry of the sample design. Common names for sampling features include specimen, station, profile, transect, path, swath, and scene. These are classified primarily by their topological dimension. Point-located samples are defined in this Clause, extensive samples of various dimensions in Clause 9 and specimens in Clause 10.

SF_SpatialSamplingFeaturec back to ToC or Class ToC
IRI: http://def.isotc211.org/iso19156/2011/SpatialSamplingFeature#SF_SpatialSamplingFeature
When observations are made to estimate properties of a geospatial feature, in particular where the value of a property varies within the scope of the feature, a spatial sampling feature is used. Depending on accessibility and on the nature of the expected property variation, the sampling feature may be extensive in one, two or three spatial dimensions. Processing and visualization methods are often dependent on the topological dimension of the sampling manifold, so this provides a natural classification system for sampling features. This classification follows common practice in focussing on conventional spatial dimensions. Properties observed on sampling features may be time-dependent, but the temporal axis does not generally contribute to the classification of sampling feature classes. Sampling feature identity is usually less time-dependent than is the property value.
