NTR: carbon sequestration #785

For the parent, we already have biogeochemical process, but CS may be non-biological, I think we need a broader parent for both that encompasses all chemical processes at the geological level.

pbuttigieg commented 5 years ago

Subclass of material accumulation process? Perhaps with an equivalence axiom to populate through reasoning.

diatomsRcool commented 5 years ago

So, "biogeochemical" includes geo. Is it only biological in ENVO?

We'd need to cover both. As @cmungall suggested above, we'd have a broad superclass for CS and then subclasses for abiotic and biotic (biogeochemical) CS.

diatomsRcool commented 5 years ago

my point is that biogeochemical is both.....

pbuttigieg commented 5 years ago

Sure, that would just be a union class of the geo and bio processes.

Note: Add "carbon sequestration by the ocean carbonate system" as a subclass and link to ecosystem services in SDGIO.

@pbuttigieg I can add carbon sequestration by the ocean carbonate system to PR #799 . What is the "link to ecosystem services in SDGIO"?

stevenchong commented 5 years ago

I added the new subclass. I listed the full IRI to the SDGIO term as a dbXref. Or should I have put in the CURIE instead?

Thanks! Don't worry about the second part - that's was a note for me to incorporate this class into the UN Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology.

If that is the common understanding of the term then great let's use that. Much preferable than latticeifying without a use case...

It is in earth science land..... but if envo biogeochemical process does not include geo, then I think maybe that needs to be fixed.
