service #110

Open pbuttigieg opened 7 years ago

We have sub-classes, but the superclass appears to be missing. @phismith will assist with these semantics. This is along the lines of:

a process in which a resource is provided to a service recipient by a service provider

where service provider and service recipient roles would be defined in the role branch.

crossref #63 #64 and #6 for some thoughts on resource see #31

We did have a class in the editors' version, but the definition has been updated to match the one above. http://purl.unep.org/sdg/SDGIO_00010071

OBI has some useful classes which are quite close to what we need: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0001173 # service http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0000941 # service consumer role http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0000947 # service provider role http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0000993 # service provision objective

They all require planned processes, however, which don't really allow for ecosystem services.

@phismith @cmungall I'm leaning towards using OBI service classes for all planned processes (anthropogenic mostly) and creating new classes for ecosystem services and others which require no plan. Thoughts?

The definition in OBI is fine

The ontology scoping is not good. I'm sure OBI would be willing to donate to an appropriate broader social ontology but there would likely be a lot of coordination here.
