9 years ago I imagine that there will be a need for several different extended SDGIO resources, for instance one for water, one for air, and so on
Pier and I have been working on a draft hazard ontology Please let me know what other sociological, legal etc., ontologies are needed BS

@phismith https://github.com/phismith suggested that SDGIO remain small, only minting new classes 1) which represent entities relevant to the SDGs, their targets, and (perhaps) indicators and 2) which are not better placed (or already present in) a domain ontology.
This would necessitate that new domain ontologies are intialised to handle sociological, legal, and other sets of entities not currently addressed in the OBO Library. @phismith https://github.com/phismith will attempt to catalyse this.
@rlwalls2008 https://github.com/rlwalls2008 @pbuttigieg https://github.com/pbuttigieg raised the point that the actual OWL file could contain modules from imported ontologies, which may help non-expert consumers of the ontology understand the interplay of SDGIO and its imports. This may not be needed if those modules (or the imported ontologies themselves) are imported and visualised using some sort of integrative user platform.
Of course, one can simply host both versions:
- A 'core' SDGIO OWL file with the minimal set of classes required to define SDGIO classes.
- An 'extended' SDGIO OWL file which imports external classes showing more of the context These can be alternate subsets of the sdgio-edit.owl file, which would likely contain the superset of all relevant classes.
Discussion about this can be centralised on this issue.
