Map to, or reuse, the GeoCore Ontology #184

I have only had a preliminary look but this appears to be an amalgamation of their previous work(s), but now available in OWL (instead of KIF, or unavailable).

The ontology is constructed in a BFO framework. Mostly it names some high level classes and some disjoint constraints. Various projects are under way in this field... Mara Abel and MichelPerrin have been working on geoscience ontology for some time, you've probably seen Perrin and Renard 2013 'Shared Earth Modeling', if not, its good stuff. Then there's the group at the Department of Earth Science, University of Turin, Italy and 'Ontogeneous', which is essentially an implementation of GeoSciML v3.2 in OWL. And the GeoSciML workgroup activities to move into linked data. Some other relevant work in Sinha, GSA special paper 297, 2006-- Richard-Geoscience Concept Models, Babaie et al--structural geology ontology. Also... NADM C1 Conceptual model 2004. And now a new ontology to support the LOOP3D project, should be public by the end of March....

Bottom line-- there a lots of possible reuse targets, but I'd suggest that SWEET should determine it's purpose, implement classes and properties for that, and then we can map to any number of these other models where it's useful.

The GeoscienceOntology for Loop3D is now public and we're working on generating a gitHub release (it is the end of March :) ).

Snake_case class names, camelCase properties?

smrgeoinfo commented 3 years ago

hmmm, yes that seems to be the case....
