IDO 1: Shock and vulnerable communities #202

Closed Mttbnchtt closed 5 years ago

Mttbnchtt commented 5 years ago

As @pbuttigieg mentions in issue #201, we need the class shock to describe IDO 1. For the Oxford English Dictionary, a shock is a state. We do not have the class state in SDGIO.

This is how some ontology (I forget which one) defines state: " The combination of circumstances or attributes belonging at a particular time to a person or thing; a particular manner or way of existing as defined by the presence of certain circumstances or attributes; a condition."

Do we add state to SDGIO? If yes, where? State as condition may be a realizable entity. However, state as a combination of circumstances does not seems a realizable entity, although it does not fit obviously any other category. Suggestions?

Concerning shock, the OED is less useful. I suggested to put it under state with the following definition: a state of distress or disorientation brought about by sudden subjection to an acute or pervasive problem. Suggestions?

I added "state" as a realizable entity (with a new definition) and shock under state.

In #201, we say to compose certain processes at the instance level. What do we mean?

Mttbnchtt commented 5 years ago

Two more questions:

  1. What objective corresponds to the process "improve resilience for vulnerable communities"? IDO 1 refers only to poors.
  2. Is there a way to say "has objective specification an INDIVIDUAL" (where I put the individual goal in the place of INDIVIDUAL)? Protege does not seem to let me do that.

We wait for the CGIAR example.

We do it at the instance level: individual has objective specification invidual. We use robot and yaml to do it after genering a tsv file.

Contrary to what stated in #201, IDO 1 does not involve "vulnerable community". IDO 4 and sub-IDO D1.4 involves "vulnerable community".
