Arctic Report Card Ontology Additions

The 2023 Arctic Report Card essays have a couple new topics that were not part of the original 2020 essays, so we need to update the ontology to include new essay topics and key variables. I've compiled this list of 2023 ontology items that should be added

Arctic Vital Signs

• Label: Precipitation Indicator
  • Definition: Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity
  • Preferred Name: Precipitation Indicator
  • subClassOf: Arctic Vital Signs http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000013

Other Indicators

• Label: Subsea Permafrost Indicator
  • Definition: Subsea permafrost in the Arctic is generally relict terrestrial permafrost, inundated after the last glaciation and now degrading under the overlying shelf sea.
  • Preferred Name: Subsea Permafrost Indicator
  • subClassOf: Other Indicators http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000512

Frostbites

• Label: Working With Communities to Observe the Arctic
  • Definition: Applying and centering Indigenous perspectives and observations of Arctic change
  • Preferred Name: Working with Communities to Observe the Arctic
  • subClassOf: Frostbites http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000513
• Label: Western Alaska Salmon
  • Definition: Here, we refer to “western Alaska” salmon as those spawning in watersheds that drain into the eastern Bering Sea.
  • Preferred Name: Western Alaska Salmon
  • subClassOf: Frostbites http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000513

Key Variables

• Label: precipitation
  • Definition: Any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040

  • Definition: Estimated total amount of ice in the sediment column and represents total ice content
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: Indigenous observations
  • Definition: Long-term documentation of weather, ocean, sea ice, and landscape conditions and context to wildlife, harvesting, and cultural and community activities
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: environmental changes
  • Definition: Long-term and holistic observations of environmental change and impacts in northern Alaska.
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: salmon abundance
  • Definition: One way to measure the health of salmon species is determining salmon abundance by counting how many adult fish return from the ocean.
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: salmon run size
  • Definition: number of salmon swimming upstream to spawn
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: salmon harvest count
  • Definition: count of salmon harvest
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: salmon fecundity
  • Definition: Fecundity of Chinook salmon was estimated from body length using an empirical length-fecundity relationship from the Yukon River by Ohlberger et al. (2020).
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040
• Label: salmon body length
  • Definition: Body length measured of salmon
  • subClassOf: Arctic Key Variable http://purl.dataone.org/odo/ARCRC_00000040

In 2020, only Arctic Vital Sign essay datasets were included in the ontology and in the Arctic Report Card. I'm unsure if we wanted to keep it the same, or if we wanted to include the "Other Indicator" and "Frostbite" essays too. Not all of these "Other Indicator" and "Frostbite" essays had datasets, but some did.
