"handles_uncertainty" needs domains deterministic and stochastic

[akleinau]

Description of the issue

The "approach to uncertainty" is part of the model factsheets (#15) and should be included in the ontology.

We have an object property "handles_uncertainty" but we dont have instances "deterministic" and "stochastic" to choose as domain, eg. model_x handles_uncertainty value stochastic.

Those two then also need a type. We have the class "Uncertainty" (subclass of validation) but I'm not sure if that fits.

Ideas of solution

Add instances "stochastic" and "deterministic" and give them a type.

Workflow checklist

• [ ] I discussed the issue with someone else than me before working on a solution
• [ ] I already read the latest version of the workflow for this repository
• [ ] The goal of this ontology is clear to me

I am aware that

• [ ] every new entry in the ontology should have an annotation
• [ ] classes should arise from concepts rather than from words
• [ ] class or property names should follow the UpperCamelCase

The class uncertainty was removed in #347, the object property handles uncertainty has also been deleted at some point.

This means we have to introduce a new class uncertainty handling (maybe with a better label). As this is about describing models, I would suggest to make uncertainty handling a subclass of model descriptor (analogous to analytical approach and methodical focus which also have assigned instances). Definition: Uncertainty handling is a model descriptor that specifies how a model deals with uncertainty. Then we can add stochastic and deterministic as instances. I don't think we need a relation handles uncertainty because other model descriptors just use is about.

Does everyone agree with my proposal (especially @p-kuckertz and @carstenhoyerklick, since you have been assigned to this issue)?

Hi Simon,

for me your proposal makes good sense:

• We need this concept to describe models
• Therefore it should belong to “model descriptor” (esp. when other model describing concepts have been put here)
• I also agree with “is about”, since this descriptor is about a specific concept - instead of basically always asking how the model handles a, b, c, etc.

Concerning the name giving, I would prefer “uncertainty approach” (in accordance with “analytical approach” and the OEP Model Factsheet field “approach to uncertainty”), then with stochastic and deterministic as possible options.

Best regards,

Patrick
