NRTs: 'Earth (planet)' ... or 'globe'

[TrisSN]

We restrict ourselves to GAZ for geographic locations, but frequently bump into the problem of GAZ lacking a global term. Some suggestions:

term: Earth (planet) mirror from: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OMIT_0018724

term: globe [or, possibly, 'global', though using an adjective doesn't fit with other GAZ terms]

We currently link out to wikidata for Earth (as an instance of ENVO:"terrestrial planet")

http://www.ontobee.org/ontology/ENVO?iri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikidata.org%2Fwiki%2FQ2

I think this is sensible as wikidata handles instance-level attributes well, while ENVO can treat the classes more systematically

Hi Pierre,

Happy New Year!

We'd appreciate Earth as a location being added to the GAZ, since we often deal with global datasets for which the best location is Earth. As Tris mentions we had previously been using the Earth (planet) term from OMIT, but as this is a location we feel that it should be added to GAZ.

We appreciate that ENVO is primarily for classes rather than instances, so we are not requesting 'Earth' to be added to ENVO.

Many thanks, Varsha

In addition to Earth, We should look at adding off-planet sites, e.g. ISS - International Space Station
