A Variable might have an Entity in which the ObjectOfInterest is contained
A Constraint constrains an Entity having a role in the Variable description
Conforms To Knowledge Representation Paradigm
Integrate datasets produced by biodiversity and ecosystem researchers
An object or process that has a role in an observation. An Entity may play one of the following roles: ObjectOfInterest, ContextObject, Matrix. Whether the involvement of a particular entity is meaningful enough to include in the variable description depends on the specific context.
A Variable has a Constraint, that confines an Entity involved in the observation
The LifeWatch Italy Semantic Platform Ontology is a graph-based data model designed to integrate and represent datasets produced by biodiversity and ecosystem researchers in LifeWatch Italy, along with the associated metadata. This semantic framework is implemented within the LifeWatch Italy Semantic Platform, offering users a browser to navigate ontology classes, a search engine, a SPARQL query endpoint, and other related services. The ontology developed by reusing LifeWatch Italy Domain Ontology, several term from Data Catalog Vocabulary, The PROV Ontology, FOAF Vocabulary Specification, and I-ADOPT Framework, enhancing interoperability and facilitating integration with other systems using these standards. The design of the ontology adheres to FAIR principles. It uses persistent identifiers, OWL2 for knowledge representation, semantic versioning, and rich metadata, including licensing and provenance details.
The original textual description of the place. Format of the site name used during the survey: two-letters code of the Italian Province _ name of the Municipality (in case of doble place names, the second one is abbreviated) and sequential number within the same Municipality in order of year of settlement of the colony _ toponym. In some cases, instead of the name the Municipality, the given name is that of a prominent landscape feature such as a river of a lake.
A type of a characteristic of the ObjectOfInterest.
A Constraint limits the scope of the observation and confines the context to a particular state. It describes properties of the involved entities that are relevant to the particular observation.
A Variable has an Entity that provides additional background information regarding the ObjectOfInterest
A Variable has a Property that characterizes an Entity
A Variable has an Entity whose Property is observed
